Its always comes a full circle. Time to say thank you to Raj Thackrey for making lives of scores of Maharashtrian's, making a living outside Maharashtra, so unsafe. The rampage of the goons of MNS is sponteneous outburst of the long neglected Marathi youth and its actually only irritating. They break public property and beat up the innocent. I dread to imagine the retaliation Maharashtrian's in Bihar, MP & UP will have to face if the local goons in Patna or Ranchi start their version of these sponteneous outbursts! (Thank heavens there aren't many jobs in these states due to years of neglect!) Most of our so called Marathi leaders will sit in their comfy homes in Mumbai and dare the Bihari's remotely. Not one will dare step into Bihar to defy them and protect the Marathi's. It was just yesterday that i was chatting with a few friends when we were dreading such a backlash and its actually happened!

Jamshedpur: Security was tightened at Telco township after the residence of the plant head of Tata Motors S B Borwankar was ransacked allegedly by activists of Bharatiya Bhojpuri Sangh (BBS).
They said the activists ransacked the residence of Borwankar, who is a resident of Maharashtra, to protest against the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena's (MNS) assault on North Indian job seekers in the railways in Mumbai.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Madhusudan Bari said, "more than 100 activists armed with lathis gathered in front of Borwankar's bungalow and climbed up the main gate after security personnel refused to hand them over the keys of the gate."

New Delhi: In what seems like a backlash against MNS-led violence against north Indians in Mumbai, two bogies of a train – reportedly with Maharashtrian passengers on board – two bogies of Vikramshila Express were set on fire in Barh area of Bihar.

Think its time to ask Raj to stop protecting the interests of Maharashtrian's. It is he who will seem to be up against Maharashtra & Maharashtrian's very soon! If he insists, he needs to be compelled to let go of his violent ways and do something really sensible for Marathi's. (Off topic -- For a start, please do something to save scores of Shivaji Maharaj's forts decaying due to neglect! Feels sad when I trek all the way up to find nothing but a few broken walls.)

Sometimes I wonder if we are going the USSR way. There is nothing national anymore. Who ever shouts the loudest about his state makes it a national issue even if it doesn't connect to the rest of the Indian population. Maybe there won't be India eventually 20yrs from now. Just 29 smaller countries. Watch this space for an update on 21 Oct'2028! Hope you will have access in your new home country! :)

Irritating as you rightly put.
First it was the South Indians. Then it was the Muslims. Then came Bollywood. Now it is North Indians.
One family. One dynasty. Different generation.
The worst part is - MNS is probably being allowed to go scot free as party perhaps as a ploy to win a few cheap votes.
I hope the USSR bit doesnt come true :)
