Maharashtra Nav Nirman Sena (MNS) has taken the cause of Marathi people. It is doing a good job, as all of us know, by beating common people from Bihar on streets to beating democratically elected SP leader Azmi in state Asseembly. It was not enough so it has taken even more serious things in its hands - they beat an IAF officer from Bihar. Why on earth this Mumbai (or if can be extended to Maharashtra) needs a Bihari IAF officer? Are there not enough Marathi IAF officers to defend Maharashtra? If the great son of Maharashtra Shivaji Maharaj can defend his motherland then why not current generation that goes to pubs on weekends and visit malls and enjoys materialist life can defend Mumbai itself. All the Non-Marathi IAF, RAPF, CRPF and CISF should be banned to enter Maharashtra. It is a welcome step for every Marathi that now MNS is trying to secure jobs in Indian railways and SBI. It has issued notices warnings to Indian railway board and SBI not to recruite non-Marathis for Maharastra posting. When Indian railway did not adhere to the MNS warning, MNS activist disrupt railway boards exam and had beaten the candidates.
All this sounds very good to the ear if you are Marathi and you feel that now the jobs will be secured to your kids and there will be prosperity in the state. Isn't it? And this might bring votes to fascist party like MNS but this is fundamentally wrong. None of the Marathi-pride supporters including MNS came to oppose the NSG commandos during Mumbai terrorist attacks. Did any one say that they did only Marathi commandos in Taj hotel? I doubt. Mumbai is rich and so it Pune. These cities have company head quarters and factories that generates lots of employment. How many of these companies will survive if these so called Marathi companies are not allowed to operate in Bihar (or now Jharkhand) and West Bengal? Every manufacturing company gets raw material (e.g. iron ore, coal, Aluminium etc) from other states. Can someone imagine TISCO in Mumbai with the mines in these so called BIMARU states? How long Tata Motors (now Tata Engineering) survive if it does not get almost free iron ore from Jamshedpur that happens to be in Jharkhand? If Bihari people who come to work in other states do not exist then who will travel? Marathi people do not travel that much anyway. Trains will be empty anyway, why railway will recruit Marathi people then?
Marathi pride might sound great but the greatness and the wealth in Mumbai does not come from Maharastra only. Directly as labourer or executives and indirectly by providing raw material other states are also contributing the development of Mumbai. People need to understand these basics and discard gunda parties like MNS and Shiv Sena. Of course it is difficult as these parties or should I call gangs have mussle power but people power will win over them if used properly and consistently to challenge them.
