Just trying to understand your point of view: if tomorrow the Biharis and UP-ites say they are Maharashtrian, they will be welcome to live in Mumbai? So instead of beating up the poor buggers, just tell them to say they are Marathi. At least it will end the violence.
Raj Thackeray's sudden anti-North Indian stance is more to do with the original Shiv sena embracing North Indians -- Uddhav attending the Uttar Bhartiya divas and chhat pooja. Raj also attacked Amitabh Bachchan, so that he can get enough publicity (thanks to the 24/7 news channels) riding piggyback on one of India's icons though the two were good buddies just a while back.
If you want to elect Raj Thackeray to power, you are welcome to... But apart from asking unemployed hooligans to beat up hardworking poor people and calling Hitler a great guy, I really want to know what is his contribution to Mumbai city.
The last time I heard about him was when he pardoned the 14people who molested the two girls in Mumbai -- because "Maharashtrian boys can't do such things". So those criminals got off scot free, despite the photos taken by newspapers.
God forbid any member's mother/sister/girlfriend/wife comes to harm. Don't try appealing to your elected representative Raj Thackeray!
Shame on these MNS goons when ten of them gather today to beat up one poor taxi driver or redi wala. They are the descendants of Aurangzeb, and definitely not of Chhatrapati Shivaji.
They might seem like heroes in Girgaon (though I seriously doubt it!), but in the eyes of the world, it is Mumbai's reputation as a global city which has suffered.
People talked about how professional and efficient Mumbaikars are when the city went back to work after the bomb blasts and heavy rains.
Today, they are talking about how Indians beat other Indians because they come from different states. Bihar is the laughing stock of the whole country: though its people are intelligent and hardworking, it has been let down by its leaders. I hope Maharashtra is not seen to be an anarchy like that state.
And yes, when it comes to transport, I have never ever been cheated in a Mumbai taxi, but I have faced a lot of harassment and pain from auto drivers in Thane (none of whom were Bihari btw). Just go to Mulund check naka and see how good are aamchi manse when it comes to being of service to other Marathis.
@Tushar: Why do you call yourself a Maharashtrian if you are a Marwari? Is it insurance for when the MNS starts attacking ALL outsiders?
