I couldn't stop myself from writing this blog after a long time. This is one event which I couldn't let go without penning down my thoughts on it. The event that I refer to is the recent act of hooliganism done by who else, but Mr. Raj Thackeray's MLA's(I would much rather call them goonda's). First they demanded that all the MLA's take their oath's of office in Marathi, and when one MLA didn't follow their DIKTAT they went on to slap him, inside the assembly!! By this time the house has already taken action by suspending the 4 MLA's of MNS(that's the party of Raj "Goonda" Thackeray) for 4 years.
In my opinion this has gone for too long and too far now. These MLA's must be suspended for life, but further more their party must be banned as rightly demanded by some people. They have been at these kind of acts for a long time now. As I see it, India is one country and some goonda named Raj Thackeray can't tell anybody from outside Mumbai or Maharashtra for that matter, to not come and settle there. Mumbai is what is today because of contributions from not only the Marathi Manoo's but the so called outsiders also. And the real problem of Mumbai lies in it's outdated and creaking infrastructure, and pray who is responsible for it?? Not the outsiders at all, but the bloody politicians, who make empty promises of making Mumbai into the next Shanghai.
I just wonder can this be possible anywhere else?? Lets take for example New York. Can the original resident's of New York say that they want the "outsiders" to get out from there?? I don't think that's ever going to happen.
I have never been a great fan of reservation and stuff like that, so my suggestion is, give every Indian citizen equal opportunities. After that if the Marathi Manoo's have it in them to get the job they are welcome to, and why only in Mumbai. Why not look across the country as so many people do??
So everything boils down to choosing the right leaders who can deliver on their promises. And sadly the Mumbaites seem to be hardly bothered as to who leads them. The reason I say this is when the attack happened on Mumbai last November, there was huge hue and cry, also candle light vigils. But all that came to nothing when the time came to vote in the general elections, the turnout was dismal. So when they themselves don't want to change anything, how can anything change in Mumbai??
In a way this is how our great country works, we just let everything be!!
