Can India stay united as a nation if Uddhav Thackeray parcels back Hindi workers from Maharashtra.

India faces the reality in Maharashtra. Hindi-speaking Indians dominate the rest of India. That has been the case since 1947. There is proverb in India – ‘if you can win Uttar Pradesh, you can win New Delhi’s Federal Government’.

People of non-Hindi speaking India are fed up with Hindi oligarchs of Marwar, Gujarat, and many other places. These Hindi oligarchs slave non-Hindi speaking people.

On top of that there are Hindi speaking workers that come to Kolkata, Mumbai to gain meaningful well-paid employment.

In a sign that Shiv Sena is worried over its former leader Raj Thackeray ‘‘hijacking’’ its ‘‘Marathi pride’’ plank, Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray has warned that his party will not tolerate workers ‘‘brought from outside’’ for modernization of Mumbai airport. “There are going to be one lakh jobs for airport works. If you bring outside workers, then they will be packed off in a parcel and sent back in a cargo plane,” Uddhav said.

According to some international think tanks, India may not survive as a united country if Uddhav Thackeray parcels back Hindi workers from Mharashtra. Kashmir, Assam, Megjhalaya, Manipur, and Nagaland are already singing the tune of secession. Now the trend appears to touch West Bengal and Maharashtra

Raj Thackeray is right in his opinion on Hindi oligarchs but wrong on execution of the rampage on North Indians

Hindi oligarchs that control Indian economy and the country are the culprits. They have made slave of native Maharashtrians, Assamese Orissa residents, Bengalis and many more non-hindi or close to hindi cultures.

Raj Thackeray is right in his opinion on Hindi oligarchs. These Hindi oligarchs must be wiped out from India if India want to stay together as a nation.

But Raj is wrong on execution of the rampage on North Indians because the poor taxi drivers, the vendors are not the oligarchs. Go after those rich oligarchs from Gujarat, Rajasthan and other north Indian states. But do not go after all Hindi speaking people.

Moreover, just because you hate the hindi oligarchs, you do not have to take violent means. You can hit them at their source of income that allows them to make rest of India their slaves. You not have to physically hurt them.

Raj Thackeray would do much better in exposing the hindi oligarchs. They control every bits and pieces of Indian economy and politicians. They even control the communists in West Bengal. It is time to clean India from these corrupt hindi oligarchs. But the way tom eliminate them will has to be non-violent. It is the common people of India who has to boycott the businesses of these corrupt hindi oligarchs.

I thought maharashta [mumbai is capital?] was part of hindi culture since they speak urdu or "hindi" over there?

Re: Can India stay united as a nation if Hindi people are asked to leave Maharashtra?

Which international think tanks? and source please!

To answer your question, yeah sure we will stay united as a proud and better nation come what may.

And no, Hindi speaking people are not being asked to leave Mumbai.

People like Thackeray take up the so called “cause of the locals” to gain votes. That may sound negative but it really is not. This is how democracy works. If he has simply said “please assign jobs to locals” nobody would hear him. Whereas now they will be careful about not bringing in another 1 lakh people into Mubai and lower the daily wages!

Also what kind of insanity will interpret “hindi speaking” and call for secession? Just plain dumb this interpretation.

:smack:

ps: but this sort of dumbness seems to be a requirement to amuse the few Pakistani members here who seem hell bent on being misled about what’s going on in India!

Re: Can India stay united as a nation if Hindi people are asked to leave Maharashtra?

yes. If this was a real problem, all that needs to happen to solve this is for Amithab Bachan to go on tv and make a small speech.

Raj and Uddhav Thackeray are jousting for power and influence from their Maratha base (the poor sections) to take over the mantle from Bal Thackeray of Shiv Sena who is getting old.

So if not this, these guys will pick up someother issue to rattle.

Maharashtrians do not support these parties. There would hardly be any Marathi speaker who dream of separation. But Marathi speakers are concerned about Hindi domination. Most Marathi speakers speak fluent Hindi.

Re: Can India stay united as a nation if Hindi people are asked to leave Maharashtra?

and why not, hindi's a beautiful sounding language :). If most people in Maharashtra don't support shiv sena then why do they keep getting voted back into office. Is it some sort of godfather type deal where they stay in office for as long as the thackeray family stays alive?

Did writer of this article cared to check how many seats the ruling congress party won from hindi belt(UP,bihar,MP,rajasthan, etc) in present loksabha and how many of it won from maharastra along with NCP.present day polictics is not about who has UP but is all about who makes to centre in post poll alliance,which congress successfully made in 2004 and BJP in 1999.Author must get his facts straight calling gujratis as hindi speakers.language questions arises in every states by parties serching for election issues (loksabha election is due in 2009).sure there will be chakka jam strike even some voilence but calling it a secessionist movement is gross mistake.

there was an article in news papers about raj thackrey's question to jaya bachchan,when Amithab bachchan's house was attacked in mumbai about which state they belong to? simple answer she gave is how can i say which state i belong to my whole family is in dian.im bengali,amitabh is from UP and my daughter-in-law is from karnataka.

If such is the passion in india how can some inter national think tank sitting in europe say that india will divide

Re: Can India stay united as a nation if Hindi people are asked to leave Maharashtra?

Hindi is a beautiful language, but the problem is Hindi speakers. Hindi speakers never learn a third language. like Marathi, Kannada, Telugu speakers. Hindi speakers expect Non-Hindi speakers to speak fluent Hindi. I feel Hindi speakers are ignorant about Non Hindi culture. At least they should attempt to learn the language of the state they are settling in.

The problem is now in Mumbai. This will happen in Bangalore sooner or later. Kannada Chaluvali folks like Vatal Nagaraj must be waiting for opportunity.

Re: Can India stay united as a nation if Hindi people are asked to leave Maharashtra?

You're right, if a native hindi speaker moves to other parts of India they need to learn the state language or local language too. It's cool that Indians know atleast three languages, hindi, english and their mother tongue.

Are you a native marathi speaker and of Maharashtra? You didn't tell me why shiv sena keeps getting voted back into office if most maharastrians don't agree with most of their views....

India must address the issue of Hindi oligarchs and Hindi workers who displaces natives of Maharashtra, Bengal, Assam and other non-hindi states

How would people of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh feel if people from neighboring Nepal would come to their towns, displace the natives from their livelihood and control the big businesses?

For long Indian Government has patched up local areas of discontent and desire to secede from the nation. The root cause is the Hindi oligarchs. The Birlas, the Ambanis, the Modis …the list goes on and on. Tata and another 100 Hindi oligarch families in India control the country economically, politically and socially.

India Inc. the new Indian business culture is based on enhancing the financial and political powers of these handful oligarchs. These oligarchs control all the political parties and the Government infrastructure. They can call on the finance ministry to manipulate the fiscal measures that favor them.

In West Bengal, we saw how the communists and the oligarchs work together to snatch lands of poor farmers and kill them mercilessly.

Southern India is somewhat safe from these Hindi oligarchs because for many years the Southern India stood against Hindi language, culture and the oligarchs.

India must protect the interest of natives in Kashmir, Jammu, Assam. Orissa, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Meghalaya, Manipur, and some other non-Hindi speaking states.

What is happening in Maharashtra will happen elsewhere unless the Central Government of India can take appropriate steps.

Shiv Sena never won any seats in Maharashtra. It was more popular in Mumbai that too only in areas of textile workers or lower middle class. Most Maharashtrian middle class and upper middle class do not support Shiv Sena. Even now Congress is in power in Maharashtra.

Shiv sena came to power once and that too not alone but with BJP because Congress did nothing in Maharashtra. But next time they were votes out.

Shiv sena is exploiting the situation like any other political party in India.

Re: Can India stay united as a nation if Hindi people are asked to leave Maharashtra?

Could be compared to The situation in Pakistan. Urdu speakers expect every one to speak Urdu. Do they attempt to learn Baluchi, Pushto or Sindhi? In Pakistan Urdu is national language,in India there are fourteen national languages.

Re: Can India stay united as a nation if Hindi people are asked to leave Maharashtra?

National language of India is Hindi.
People like Raj Thakray should be labeled as traiters of the country, who just try to divide India. They should be given the punishment that a traiter should get.....

Re: Can India stay united as a nation if Hindi people are asked to leave Maharashtra?

Re: Can India stay united as a nation if Hindi people are asked to leave Maharashtra?

There is nothing called as national language of India. There are just official languages for every state. But for communication between center and states it is usually in english and hindi. But never hindi alone.

If you treat this as a a real language issue then you have been sleeping for your entire life! Elections are coming next year and everybody is doing whatever it takes to get some publicity.

Once the realignment of the parties contesting as the two fronts get finalized somehow all these issues go back to sleep until the next election is around.

Thackeray and company want to get arrested so that they print bigger posters!
