LANGUAGE,REGIONALISM AND POLITICS





Mumbai,Marathi,and non-Marathi is not the new issue.The recent comments of Bal Thackrey chief of Shiv Sena for Rahul Gandhi in the the paty's mouthpiece 'Saamna'have created chaos among political setup of congress in which he called Rahul a frustrated bachelor and also insulted Indian National Congress chairperson Sonia Gandhi by quoting her Italian Mummy.
Both Shiv Sena and MNS are in race to get kingship of Maharashtra.Bal Thackrey is not ready to accept the dominance of Raj Thackrey in Maharashtra's politics.No doubt, coming legislative assembly election of Bihar has compelled Rahul Gandhi to take interest in this whole matter.
Infact, to remain in news Thackreys' are in habit of giving such controversial and provocative statements.Earlier, they blamed Sachin Tendulkar,ShahRukh Khan and other celebrities because they accept that Mumbai belongs to Marathi-speaking People and dared to say that it belongs to every Indian.Well,Thackreys' should refer to Indian constitution where it is mentioned that every citizen of India can reside and work anywhere in this country.Political parties whether it is Congress,MNS,Shiv Sena,BJP, etc.should concern with actual problems of country like terrorism,inflation,education,employment etc. rather to mess up on such non-sense issues.Here,media is lacking behind to raise such important issues and it is being used by some narrow minded people for their own interests.
