re: North Indians take pride in violating law: Delhi Lt Governor |

Great point Umesh, about cheap labour hired from outside cutting into local jobs. And thank God at least you agree that violence is not the solution.
This is a problem that plagues all economies, and one of the banes of globalisation. Tomorrow, who knows, the vada pav chap will replace the cheap labour with even cheaper China-made machinery and thus increase profits. It's the same kind of anger that a certain class of Americans feels about Indian call centres. I am sure we have all seen the cheap Chinese Ganpati idols with chinky eyes, who retail at half the price of idols made in India.
Can we stop China dumping cheap goods on us and bankrupting our homegrown businesses? If not, then how can we stop fellow Indians from coming to Mumbai to make a living? At least they are keeping the wheels of the INDIAN economy moving.
Viraj, thanks for the link. But it's not saying something which we all don't know already! A trip to Delhi is proof of all that the LG is saying. What's sad and shameful is that west India is now seen to be as lawless as Delhi, UP and Bihar.
Just a counter question: if we stop the North Indians from coming to Mumbai because they are lawless, will MNS welcome the South Indians with open arms then, because they are better behaved?
As I recall the Senapati founded the Sena to kick out South Indians and destroy Udipi hotels.
Sigh.
The more things change, the more they remain the same!
ps: Umesh, research is essential for an effective rebuttal, hence the google :) I don't want to talk without having the facts to back what I am saying. But I seriously do know a good chap in Dehra Doon. :))
