As visuals of MLAs hitting a colleague right when he was taking his oath in the assembly flasshed across all major news channels within the country I thought this is their 15 minutes of fame. Those MLAs were suspended for 4 years but who cares they became heroes in the eyes of their leader and for all those who would rather die than hear any other language.
But i wonder what is this new found jingoism which is rising in relatively small pockets of the country. These politicians keep finding newer and better ways to harrass the people of India so that no one really points at the real issues. The issues of poverty, education, corruption healthcare and what not. Which politician worth his salt has a real agenda in todays time. For some it is Ram, for some it is Dalits,some live and die for their language. But has anybody ever bothered to know if the public wants these agendas or not and if their issues are our issues. How does it matter to a common man working on a shop floor and living in slums somewhere in Mumbai whether the sign boards in the city are in Hindi or Marathi, whether the ministers take oath in the language of the land.
Someone should as ask this question to the MNS leader that what will happen if the same treatment is given to all the marathis living outside Maharashtra. I have a lot of Marathi colleagues, and I live in Delhi..should i beat all of them up or not talk to them coz they have jobs which any other delhite could have had. Utter rubbish..Raj Thackrey should kno that he cannot keep boiling the same water over and over again..people evetually will get tired. We live in a country where no 2 neighbours speak the same language..or if its the smae language its a different dialect so who should decide what language should be spoken where. Such are our political leaders that for them issues like floods and drought are of no importance but what is important is the language in which the epitaph is written on the tombstone of all those who die in these calamities. What kind of politics is this?? Imagine if in the Lok sabha where you have representation from the entire country everyone is allowed to speak their mother tongue then what chaos wil it be. Will will have to make a bigger arena for holding sessions coz then we will have an equal mnumber of translators for people who do not understand Marathi, Tamil, telugu or other languages.
Where exactly are we heading? We make fun of our neighbours for the instability and that bhutto cannot mind his house but can we?? wer are letting a bunch of uneducated and sone case educated hooligans decide what language we speak..what clothes we wear..whether a certain community should or should not sing Vande Mataram.
It is funny that we spend crores and crores on for making issues out of non issues..we waste presious assembly time in such petty discussions which to my mind do notg have a bearing on the common man at all....
I as a citizen definately feel cheated that the money being wasted in all this bull shit is commom man's money..
Inflation is sky high..we have people like Madhu Koda who have amassed such a huge amount of wealth that all the governments machinery is unable to unearth..we have flood victims dying due to lack of rescue efforts but there are people like Raj Thakrey who have nothing better to do than fool the poor citizens.
