Is the ugly fight over Mumbai is a new low in Indian politics?

Mr. Sarangapani.

There are many outsiders who have contributed for the prosperity of Mumbai. When Maharastrian peasants refused to take up jobs of drivers, watchment, etc. stating that they are below their dignity, it was Biharis who stepped in, it was Nepalis & others who watched Mumbai properties, it was North Andhra Labour who built Mumabai’s highrises, it was Gujaratis, Marwaris, Sindhis, Pharcis, etc. who took up businesses, it was Tamilians who took up Technical jobs, it was Malayali Nursing staff who manned the Hospitals, and the list goes on.  Only during the last few decades, the minority parties with zero developmental agenda have started raking up this baseless debate on Marathi Manoos.

Majority of IT & ITES services are peopled with Andhras & other South Indian, North Indians, because the local talent has not been sufficient to meet the industry demand.

In fact the success story of Hyderabad, Bangalore, Delhi, Chandigarh, Kolkata, Pune, Visakhapatnam and every other prospering city would have the similar kind of outsiders augmenting the local talent in building these cities.

And now, is it not pretty easy to say that everyone else get out so that we, the localites, can enjoy the prosperity?  But, please check with educated Maharastrians for, they would confirm that to continue the same rate of prosperity, they need outside talent to augument their own.  Or else not only the progress will stop but also would decline.

And finally, whom are they roughening-up? The vagabond ‘Sadhus’, Taxi Drivers and other defenceless poor and the innocents.  So much for the Marathi Heroism!

The Ulterior Agenda of the 'Exortionistic Culture' of these ‘Marathi Manoo Champions’ have already been exposed and their days are numbered. 

I do not agreewith Sarangpani, Mumbai is for all and not a particular caste, Mumbai si becasue fo Non Marathis also and not not Marathis alone

Local policiticians are not concentrating on any issue of common mass like infrastucture, prices of of food articles, inflation, hoses etc

They are interested in breaking news and only shouting in front of cameras.

Thsi is new low of politics and wonder where they will go further

FOR ALL INDIANS, ITS REALLY A DISAPPOINTED STATEMENT   FROM Mr. BAL THAKERY THAT HAD GIVEN DURING RAHUL GANDHI VISIT AT MUMBAI. HE MUST KNOW THIS WE ARE INDIANS FIRST THEREAFTER WE BELONG TO DIFFERENT RELIGION PUNJABI, MARATHI, TELGU.ETC.

AS WE ARE INDIANS FIRST, SO WE HAVE TO AVOID SUCH DISCRIMINATING STATEMENTS AND MOVE AHEAD WITH THE UNITE SPIRIT...

HONEY SOOD

There's no new low in Indian politics. The Thackerays have always been appeased by the Congress. Bal Thackarey was used by the Congress against Datta Samant to break his hold on Bombay unions. From that time, Bal Thackarey became sort of invincible for Congress. That's the root cause of the problem If the Congress can dare, Thackrey would be nowhere in a short time. But it's not going to happen anytime soon as Thackarey has grown too big for his boots.

Yes, it is.

For as long as we have Nationalists of Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkatta, Dilli, Hyderabad, Bangalore and what have you? - with low caliber, nil agenda leaders of moral venality, inflaming the chauvinistic fervor among the lower rung of the society, most of whom are less educated, low earning, culturally very backward and generally lethargic, India will continue achieve this dubious distinction.  We shouldn’t justify this unique malady by quoting the same kind of infection as is showing up in Australia, Pakistan, etc..

Yes , The sena walking backwards from the history...

and it is the end of the understanding the greatness of the country..

If people cognizant the intention of sena..they will be vanished from the picture of indian politics..

Today's politics is already gone very very low level not because of mumbai issue but on all front. 

I agree with Mr Toraskar  it has happened in tamil nadu, assam before.. But this time it takes a different  and serious dimension b’coz , it’s Mumbai.. the financial capital of the country and the stakes r high.. if this drags on,  it might cease to be one..thus loose its sheen

 once upon a time, kolkata was the most happening city, culturally financially etc..etc..politics, and more politics (of a different kind, bandh, strikes) made the city loose its position.. Mumbai needs to be careful there..

YES...Dogs are barking ...and what about elephant (citizens)...don't know???

Though elephant is knowing his capabilities..but still need a triencular (interpret opposit please)to make him made..just tocrush these dogs...enough...
