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!
Im not a big fan of raj thackeray but that mns fellow with all that gold chains around his neck did a fine job smacking around that abu azmi thug.
the day mns won 13 seats, i was flipping channels and i caught that mns gold guy on some marathi news channel and he speaks some awesome english. i was surprised. when asked about his gold, he said that he earned it and has no problem displaying it in the open, unlike the congress wallahs who stash all there's in swiss bank accounts.
im not marathi, maybe half marathi on my mothers side but i would vote for the mns IF they disband the muslim ghettos that have been thriving all around mumbai and maharashtra.
I am Marathi who migrated to Mumbai 22 years ago after generations of my family stayed in the south. I like the language, respect it but am not an anti-migrant.
But I think MNS sank to the lowest level in a parliamentary democracy by converting a fora for debate, persuasion and decions to an akhada. Whatever a cause, one cannot debase institutions.
On the other hand, Abu Asim Azmi is entitled to his choice of Hindi but his excuse that he did not know Marathi is flawed. He who can read devnagari script can read the simple one sentence Marathi written out for him. He could have stood his ground to swear by Allah but he could have avoided that 'us' vs 'them' stance. He provoked but did that mean we slap people around?
our CM was talking in 3 diff. language and he was translating wht he said in marathi to english and hindi.. for mediapersons.. not at all proud of such CM
'One tight slap' nakkich khedkarak ahe karan 'One is a vry small number' :(
apt reaction to a disgusting action....
ReplyDeleteAbu azmi sucks, but this thing sucked as well

I am disgusted by both the MNS and Azmi.
