Dear Colonel Jude Mayne Sir
I appreciate your article to some extend as I believe that no entity, group, person or individuals are responsible for spreading hatred in the society.
Mentioning 'The Thackerays are the epitome of hatred of fellow Indians' in your article posted, is totally misleading and encourages differences among the readers. If Thackerays fight is against those illegal immigrates, then have a quick look in the below mentioned facts-
1. So far 8 PMs (Nehru, LB Shastri, Indira Gandhi, Charan Singh, Rajiv
Gandhi, VP Singh, Chandra Shekhar, AB Vajpayee) have all come from UP.
WHY they could not develop it since independence?
2. HOW come so called 'communal' CM of Gujarat has been able to achieve
highest rate of growth in the country within a span of 5/6 years but not the
'secular' CMs of UP/Bihar who ruled for more than 15/16 years?
3. UP/Bihar are amongst richest states in terms of natural resources.
WHY then TATAs, BIRLAs or any other industrialists not keen on setting up
large industries there, even though labour is also cheaply available ?
4. Amar Singh of Samajwadi Party always accompanies top celebrities /
industrialists, prominent being Anil Ambani.
WHY he could not convince them to invest in his state? Only Anil Ambani is
investing something...but that's because he's promised free land.
5. Its a fact that maximum number of Babus (IAS/IPS etc officers, Yadav,
Gupta, Jha, Singh, Pandey, Sinha, Shrivastav, Sharma, Verma, ... ) come
from UP/Bihar.
WHY then these states still remain backward? Why they want to settle down
in Maharashtra? Because they and their Netas dont want to uplift their
backward states so as to rule indiscriminately.
6. Bihar CM Nitish Kumar claims that North Indians contributed to the
Development of Mumbai.
WHY they do not contribute for their own state's development?
Why are Patna / Dhanbad the shabbiest cities in the world? (Mumbai may
join them soon).
7. Thirty Six (36) North Indians were burnt alive in Assam.
WHERE were Sanjay Nirupam, Abu, Mulayam, Amar, Laloo, Maya, Jaya,
Amitabh, Shatrugun and Nitish Kumar at that time? So called son of soil of UP,
Bihar, MP States.
8. Bihar had maximum number of railway ministers.
WHY then their recruitment is done from Assam, Gujarat and Mumbai?
9. Its a fact that where there's money/opportunity, people from different
geo/demography rush-in to make fortunes. Mumbai is one such city.Gujratis,
Marwaris, South Indians, Bengalis, Punjabis, Sindhis flocked to Mumbai for
obvious reasons. Majority of these communities got into skilled,
professional, business areas and prospered, contributing to Mumbai's
success.
However, most of the North Indians resort to and take pride in doing
Unskilled/unlawfull cheap labour such as illegal hawking by occupying
every nook & corner of every footpath, station areas as
vegetable/fruit/sing-chana/bhel-pani puri vendors, or auto/taxi wallas
without licenses. They bribe local authorities and make life of common
people miserable due to congestions and rubbish. They are ruining the tax
payer's money. Of course not to mention about illegal slums. It is absurd
to say that they contributed to Mumbai's development. If anything, they are
retarding/deteriorating Mumbai.
CAN our great leaders dare say that Middle-east countries especially Dubai
got developed due to laborers from India?
10. Its not sons-of-soil v/s north-Indians.
Dear Colonel Jude Mayne Sir, Its not personal issue but expressing your views neglecting the facts is some what I didn't agree.
I would like to extended my sincere apology if the remarks made by me,would have hurt you in any manner.
