RIP Thackerey. Why is the local news of an Indian state politician's demise allowed by mods to run for 40 pages?

north indians are recent victim, previously it was south indians who were favourite bogeyman of balasaheb and his motley crew of marathi manush. With growing prosperity of Southern states, people from bihar, up took the menial works.

Balasaheb however woudn't do a sh!t to parsis or gujratis; rich and powerful as they are.

very correct dude

since gujratis , marwaris are rich...... they dont utter a word to them

the day i got to know that poor autowallahs and small roadside shopkeepers from up n bihar being beaten up by his goons

dis man lost my respect, no morality!!!

 

[neokautilya2]

People living outside of mumbai would not know this...I do because my grandfather told me about this...
I know how language groupism works in government jobs....No Maharashtrian is against south indians in south India or biharis in Bihar...just don't come here and dream about taking power from our hands...105 people have died for sayunkta maharashtra and their blood will not go to waste..

you are asking whom to not come????? indians

have the maharashtrians developed mumbai........ tell me the bigwig marathi businessmen

it were the parsis n gujratis

poor ppl from up n bihar dont go dere for d sake of fun, they go dere to earn coz it is the commercial capital of india, not because of maharashtra but indian govt

labours from up,bihar are way more efficient and skilled dan marathi labours dat is why dey are preffered

same goes for the business skills

try to be indian first

Why Maharashtra must thank a watchful Bal Thackeray

Achievements
* Pune expressway that became country’s first ever such road. A road corporation that was set up for this purpose would build sea link and other roads in future. The state built expressway by spending a half of what private contractors had quoted. 55 flyovers built in Mumbai gave the city some swift movements

 

[neokautilya2]

Do you even know the history behind it:

i know it

my sikh frnd told me much befor, gud u wrote it here

every indian making dis 12 baje sort of stupid comment must kno dis

 

[neokautilya2]

what happened in punjab , if Sardar hepled Punjabi hindu women then good and let the punjabi hindus say thanks.

But no sardar or anybody else should come and tell me in uppity voice that he has done any favour to me, a hindu living outside punjab 'cause he has done no favours to me.

just for ur information

dere are many sikhs in the indian army

and yaa u shud be thankful to them

That is anarchy. And you are only making yourself look a clown pulling out numbers from you-know-where. If Balasaheb was not there Mumbai would be like today's Karachi with its underworld. He crushed it brutally when no other politician dare take on them. He made Mumbai safe that one could go out at 3 in the morning and return home safe. He improved the infra of the city by leaps and bounds. That would be his legacy to his admirers.

But having seen your posts, I understand revelling in the spotlight by uttering inanities is what you crave for and unlike Balasaheb you can be ignored. So this is my last post to you. Keep showcasing your arithmetic skills.

It cuts both ways - you think without him it could have been as bad as Karachi. I think it would have been as open and as cosmopolitan in its outlook as New York.

While the Bombayites are discussing how difficult it is for them without cable TV or how the city has been 'forced' to shut down, the Mumbaikars are united in their grief of losing their father figure. The disconnect between Bombay and Mumbai was never more clear to me.

Crowds at Shivaji Park :

I wasn't without cable TV. And I have lived here when the official name was Bombay and when the official name has been Mumbai. The Mumbaification of Bombay killed this city's soul.

haha.... so is it mentioned in your holy book?

No .... common sense .

everyone has to leave this world at their appointed time - unfortunately he was a pakistan hater and a lover of hitler!. in other words he hated muslims and jews alike.

He was a proud Indian and a Hindu and was a 20 year old when you guys separated.

There was nothing unfortunate about his hatred.

It was simply natural.

He has gone on record saying many times that he does not hate Muslims.

There are many Muslims in the Shiv Sena.

He hates those Muslims whom he calls Pakistanis ("pakdas" in marathi).

The ones born here, procreating here, eating and drinking here.

And in love with you.

Balasaheb however woudn't do a sh!t to parsis or gujratis; rich and powerful as they are.

Whatever man.

Parsis (including the South Mumbai snobs) love the Shiv Sena.

And what gives anyone the idea that a Parsi is any less a Marathi manoos than any other native Maharashtrian?

400 years ago when Mumbai was a small fishing village, who do you think came in an built the city?
