A blog that captures the happenings in Maharashtra and rest of the Marathi World (Bruhanmaharashtra) through the eyes of a 3M – Madhyamvargiya Marathi Manoos (Middleclass Marathi Man). Neither is it a view of the anglicized minority which has lost touch with its roots... nor does it speak for the Marathi masses who may lack the “worldview”. Just a somewhere-in-between viewpoint… but a firm viewpoint indeed!
u know when MNS was launched few years back i enrolled myself as a member.
i liked his first rally.. he took a stand opposite to the Sena on the Muslims as well as he was open to the backwards and he considered migration as a problem which i think everyone does. he lost the bmc elections though he got decent vote percentage..
the best part about his party was the name. and also i thought then that here's an option for the people of Maharashtra that could probably take the state in the right direction..
but that was not meant to be... he has returned to the old sena ways. he seems to be desperate for media attention and naturally media attention creates a perception..a strong perception
and as someone has rightly said "perception is more important than reality in politics"
maheshji had also written a very good article about the media in the Raj issue.
wish there were more people in the media like him all he have is a jingoistic bunch of buffoons..
The blogger has been kind in uploading my piece here and am touched by ashwin's comment. Thank you both. To be called sane is the best compliment one can hope for in these troubled times. Mahesh Vijapurkar
a sane voice indeed...
