Uff Mumbai..

Almost from last 3 Yrs, every now and then Mumbai is becoming “Akhada”.

Thackeray’s believe they got Mumbai in Dowry..!! and they and Marathi Manoos should have first rights to Mumbai..Up to some extent yes Marathi manoos should have little more rights in Mumbai (in few jobs) because it belongs to Maharashtra. But at the same time Mumbai is financial and Entertainment capital not only because of Marathis.

Gujaratis, Marwadis, Parsis, South Indians, North Indians all have contributed and without Mumbai being Land of Opportunities this fight would never exist. If Sr. Thackeray would have been successful in kicking out Gujaratis, South Indians, Marwadis and Parsis in 60′s, Mumbai would not have been where it is right now…!!

People inflow into Mumbai should be restricted – Yes but by creating opportunities in other cities and states and not by violence. Even Marathis should be restricted to come to Mumbai.

Marathis believe Mumbai belongs to them and it is their primary right to do job and stay in Mumbai and that’s why some of them in fact many of them do support Senas..Others believe, Mumbai belongs to all and yes it does belong to all. Any part of India belongs to all Indians..

- Primary issue is Survival. Marathi Manoos do have direct survival fight with UP/Biharis but not much with Gujaratis, South Indians, Parsis and Marwadis..!!

- Secondary issue is accept, appreciate and acknowledge local culture and language. North Indians are little aggressive and rude in nature and may not work with language or culture of Marathis. And that has made even Marathis little aggressive and rude towards them.

The issue exists in South India, Assam and even in Bangalore up to some extent..but even media and all parties want Mumbai, after all UP, Bihar, Maharashtra controls 1/3 of Indian Population.!!

Both the parties should let go something.

- Marathis should accept and appreciate the fact that Mumbai does belong to all and start fight (without violence..!!) for survival and be ok if someone does not say “Jai Shivaji Maharaj” with you.

- People going to Mumbai from other parts (Specially from UP/Bihar) should accept, appreciate and acknowledge local language and culture and say “Jai Shivaji Maharaj” when you get chance. (Does not mean do not celebrate and be proud of your state, language and culture..)

Poor SRK. Not sure weather Pakistan players should play in IPL but anyone has and should have full freedom to express views and ideas. But yes with little carefulness. Matters can be resolved by meeting/discussion (not always) but never by fight unless someone gives up.

Mumbai is dying or its almost dead in terms of Infrastructure and Traffic. A person earning 25K/month cant survive with family in Mumbai if they stay in rented place..(of course they cant buy one even in far suburban..) Travel 2-3 hours in a day..Uff. Do not know why the hell bunch of people coming daily….

If my grandfather/father would not have decided to move from Mumbai to Ahmedabad in 1960, they might have been asked to move out few years later..who knows!! But “Jo Hua Achcha Hua”…”Achche logo ke saath hamesha Achcha hi hota hai”..!!

And in the end, Stop violence. Do verbal or written protest and fight but do not become violent..
“Some mamus need to get well soon” and then “All would be well”…
