Rajdeep's open letter to Raj

It is interesting to read Rajdeep Sardesai's open letter to Raj Thackeray.


I agree with him about need for constructive instead of destructive measures from Raj. But Rajdeep seems to totally miss out on the root cause of Marathi Manoos's anger. We have to realise that Raj is just riding the wave which others have failed to spot.

3M finds it funny that a person who pronounces his own surname as सरदेसाय instead of सरदेसाई speaks about "preserving cultural identity of Maharashtrians". His usage of words describing himself as a "Goan Maharashtrian" almost gives an impression that he is apologetic about his roots. His anglicised Marathi introduction to the Tendulkar-Gavaskar interview that he "read out" on IBN-Lokmat (a Marathi news channel) almost sounded ShobhaaDesque!

  2. I admire this guy for only two reasons:
    1:His command over English language
    2:He has a great potential of finding negative in positive things.
    and yah.. I dont know how much money does he take to make a report

  3. नमस्कार सरदेसाई,
    तुमच्या इतकी चांगली माझी विदेशी भाषा नाही, पण आशा करतो की तुम्हाला तुमची मात्रु भाषा नकिच येत असेल, नसेल मराठी वाचता येत तर मदत घ्यावी.
    तुम्ही काय म्हणता? तुम्हाला दिल्लीला रहायला त्रास होतोई का?
    मराठी आहात म्हणुन? आसे सल्ले आम्ही खुप ऐकले आहेत, अजुनही ऐकतोच आहोत. तुम्ही मराठीसाठी काय केलात? मग हे नाटक, सिनेमे, कला आणि इन्गाराजी शिकावन्य हे राज साहेबांनी मराठीचा मान वधाव्न्यसाठी करायच असा सुचातय? मग भैया लोकांनी मराठीचया शिकावन्य लावून मराठी का शिकुनाये महाराष्ट्रात? सगले भैया एक होउन महाराष्ट्राला dominate करतात हे लोक मराठी लोकांच्या नोकरी, जागा आणि आता तर मराठी भाषा सुध्हा गौण केली आहे,
    सरदेसाई, तुम्ही का नाही राबवत असले कार्यक्रम? कारण तुम्ही मीडिया वाले आहात? राज साहेब पॉलिटिकल पार्टी चलावत आहेत नाटक, सिनेमा ची कम्पनी नाही, ते तुमच काम आहे.
    शिवाय दिल्ली माधे उपर्यन्च्यात राहून मराठीचा अपमान सहन होत नसेल अणि प्रतिउत्तर देता येत नसेल तर महाराष्ट्रात परत यावे, नाहीतर तिथेच सौ. सरदेसाई यांच्या बांगड्या घालून बप्प तमाशा पाहत रहा आपल्या मराठी चा.
    आणि आसे फालतू सल्ले देण बंद करावे!!!!!
    कलावे,
    आपलाच मराठी माणूस

    जय हिंद
    जय महाराष्ट्र

  5. Raj is Right

    This is a wonderful mail circulating in favour of RAJ Thackerey have a look We all should support Raj Thackeray and take his initiative ahead by doing more... 1. We should teach our kids that if he is second in class, don't study harder.. just beat up the student coming first and throw him out of the school 2. Parliament should have only Delhiites as it is located in Delhi 3. Prime-minister, president and all other leaders should only be from Delhi 4. No Hindi movie should be made in Bombay. Only Marathi. 5. At every state border, buses, trains, flights should be stopped and staff changed to local men 6. All Maharashtrians working abroad or in other states should be sent back as they are SNATCHING employment from Locals 7. Lord Shiv, Ganesha and Parvati should not be worshiped in our state as they belong to north (Himalayas) 8. Visits to Taj Mahal should be restricted to people from UP only 9. Relief for farmers in Maharashtra should not come from centre because that is the money collected as Tax from whole of India, so why should it be given to someone in Maharashtra? 11. Let's throw all MNCs out of Maharashtra, why should they earn from us? We will open our own Maharashtra Microsoft, MH Pepsi and MH Marutis of the world . 12. Let's stop using cellphones, emails, TV, foreign Movies and dramas. James Bond should speak Marathi 13. We should be ready to die hungry or buy food at 10 times higher price but should not accept imports from other states 14. We should not allow any industry to be setup in Maharashtra because all machinery comes from outside 15. We should STOP using local trains... Trains are not manufactured by Marathi manoos and Railway Minister is a Bihari 16. Ensure that all our children are born, grow, live and die without ever stepping out of Maharashtra, then they will become true Marathi's. 17. Our children should only go to marathi medium schools and all english medium convent schools should be closed except for the children of shakha pramukhs and the Thackerey clan. 18. All overseas business houses wanting to do business with us must speak to us only in marathi as we will not know any other language. 19. All western attire must not be worn and only dhoti, banyan and kolhapuri chappals will be permitted. 21. pani puri, bhel puri, pav

  6. नमस्कार सगळ्यात आधी सांगायच तर, सरदेसाई साहेब तुमचं IBN network किंवा कोणताही news channel TRP साठी प्रसिद्ध आहे.पण मला एक सांगा की,तुम्ही सगळे news वाले फक्त मराठी आणि महाराष्ट्र यातील उलाढाली यांचा मागे का असतात? उत्तर प्रदेश मधला लालूप्रसाद यादव याचा गोंधळ आणि कर्नाटक सीमाप्रश्न याच्यावर का नाही जास्त टीका करणारे news दाखवत . माझं मते सगळे news channel वाले हे yellow journalism म्हणजेच TRP साठी खोट्या दाखवणारे असतात.

    जय महाराष्ट्र
