AAMchi Mumbai or Shiv Sena land – how do we define the city?

Hate is the most predominant word in the city of Mumbai as of now. why? ALL thanks to the shiv sena and MNS. Isn't it suppose to be home to a set of diverse crowd. Have we stopped believing in the idea of unity in diversity? Shiv Sena has held Mumbai as a hostage since last few days..the new age of autocracy..or should i say hooliganism or vandalism.

The best strategy to be in the limelight is by creating chaos in some way or the other and shiv sainiks are experts at it - whether it is about protesting outside SRK's Bunglow or for that matter bashing up North Indians every second day for some odd reason..they are adept at it. The political appraoch of Shiv Sena and MNS is strongly centred around the concept of Bhumiputr (sons of soil). Its ideology is that Maharashtra belongs to the Marathi community and that they be given preference over migrants from other Indian states. No wonder they were born out of a feeling of resentment about the relative marginilization of the native Marathi people in their own state by people whom they perceived as outsiders.

I often wonder whether they understand the Indian constitution in the first place or not?? Looks like Dr. B.R Ambedkar wasted a lot of time designing the constitution of India, when eventually at the end of the day people don't even understand it and end up defragmenting it according to their own understanding. As far as i know the citizens have the right to freedom of speech and expression and no one can stop people from making any kind of atatement until and unless it is some kind of vilification to somebody.. as far as my understanding permits, I don't think shahrukh said anything wrong or disrespectful. He is simply being targeted for being a Muslim which is a shameful act in today's sovereign and secular nation.

The worst is the fact that today SRK simply apologises for the entire fiasco. Was it a planned publicity stunt, both for SRK as well as the Shiv Sena? A win-win situation for both at the behest of the public... Or is it mere taking public sentiments for granted...
