Thank you Shahrukh...

...for not giving in as your friend and producer Karan Johar did. Karan Johar is a coward in simple term and so as Jaya Bachchan when she says that she fought her war alone and Shahrukh should do the same without expecting film fraternity to rally behind. Mr. and Mrs Bachchan, you never fought anything ever. You had said something for Hindi language and apologized to Raj Thakerey thousand times. You are among one of those who chose to ego massage fading Thakereys for your personal gain. Most recently Mr. Bachchan did it through his blog.

But there are people who rightly deserve applause and Shahrukh, Anupam Kher, Sachin Tendulkar, Rajdeep Sardesai, journalist Kumar Ketkar and most importantly the Mumbai Police Commissioner who said few months ago ‘Mumbai kisi ke baap ki jagir nahi hai’ are certainly among them. These are the people who worked for their self esteem, not Bachchans who were fanning Amar Singh’s political base in Mumbai.

This is the high time when ‘spade’ should be bluntly called ‘spade’. Stop fanning hipocracy. While Raj Thakrey wants poor of Maharashtra to educate their children in Marathi medium, he is sending his kids to ‘Scottish High School’, one of the most prestigious English school of Mumbai. While Sena advocates to promote Marathi, it is shutting down Marathi Schools under its municipality. Isn’t it hypocritical politics to instigate uneducated, unemployed and frustrated maharashtrian youths? Or is it scare tactics to get some lost political ground?

Shiv Sena or any party is no better than Taliban if they choose to attack individual or a group’s ideology. That is what Taliban is all about. Democracy means nothing if it’s citizen’s way of thinking is threatened. It started with attacking news channel and theatre. Tomorrow they will go on to attack women wearing short sleeves or bikini. It is dangerous trend and should be crushed immediately.

Today entire north India is against Thakereys. But where were we when they were spiraling venom against Muslims, South Indians and Gujraties. Same goes for South Indians and Gujraties now. Basically we in India act only when our own house in on fire. That mentality is the biggest hurdle in everything we do.

Political parties act as per their suitability. When MNS was beating up north Indian students and taxi drivers in Mumbai, congress chose to stay silent for obvious reasons. As Maharashtra Election was around the corner they wanted MNS and Shiv Sena to fight as badly as possible for marathi manoos vote. And they were the obvious gainer. But now with upcoming Bihar Election Rahul Gandhi got the perfect opportunity to dare Sena. Surprisingly in all these political fights BJP has been acting foolishly. Their alliance with Sena can only be called insane. Nitish is also going to lose heavily if he keeps hanging on with BJP in this circumstances. He should take some lessons from Jharkhand Election.

Anyway, among all these we the people should keep on voicing our concern and let our politicians know what we really want. After all they will be as good as we are.
