…..and I am not a fool.
”To whomsoever it may concern”
You people should understand that you have not inherited Mumbai from your forefathers and stop bullying people by your mindless acts.
I saw the movie My name is Khan. I saw it not because I am a movie buff or SRK fan but to make statement that I will not be bullied by some idiots like you and that I have fully functional and stable mind to decide what is good for me, my city and my country. I was not alone and cinema halls were running houseful to give a slap on your face.
Why stop screening of a movie which is a joint effort of so many people from so many walks of life? Just because you have got problem with one person which is also a “problem’’ only in your eyes, more then billion people are wrong and you’re the only sacrosanct person championing this cause?
If you have got some opinion or point to make then it should be unbiased and universal. You say that you wont allow Australians to play in IPL because of the attack on Indians in Australia, you conveniently forget that these attacks are ethnic and similar in nature with the attack you carried out on north Indians living in Mumbai. If this is the logic then Sachin Tendulkar should not be allowed to play at Kanpur.
Nine years old Russian girl was raped in Goa in India by Indian, are all Indians rapist? Why don’t you put your own house in order before pointing fingers at others.
You want reservations and quotas in public sector then why not ask for quota in military? Try and introduce quota in military and then will see how many posts you can fill in.
You protest Valentines Day saying its western culture but you’re happy to host Michael Jackson. Was he singing Indian classical songs when he performed in Mumbai? Wasn’t his music part of western culture?
Before protesting be worthy of doing so. Gain some stature in society and build some public opinion in your favor. By the way how many MPs you have in parliament? How many MLAs you send to state assembly? When was the last time you formed govt on your own in this state? Difficult questions, isn’t it?
In last 10 years what have you done for this city apart from attacking media houses? Apart from protesting progress? Apart from attacking youngsters on Valentines Day? Apart from advising Amitabh Bacchhan, SRK and Mukesh Ambani on what they should do? Apart from using abusive language for anyone who refuse to agree with you? Apart from damaging public property and calling for Mumbai Bandh?
Remember destruction is always easy then construction. If you can’t construct and contribute in nation building then atleast don’t come in the way.
If you had done only 10% of constructive work instead of your mindless acts for this city I am sure Mumbai would have been better place to live today.
And yeah… I am Indian first and then Mumbaiite, true cosmopolitan Mumbaiite.
Anyone of you happen to read this please don’t forget to post your views, whatever it be.
Very nice views…… seriously these guys should be ignored and strict action should be taken against these SS and MNS guys. The only thing they know is to brainwash common youth and gather votes. If something is going against them then they try to bullies and its high time to put a full stop on such foolish parties.
hmm..I just wish those so called shiv senics and MNS should read this…
yes they have created the anger among Indians as they are questioning our very freedom given to us by the constitution..its just like organised crime being patronised in the name of country, culture preservation and all..
nice post buddy…we need to speak up or else these anti-national regional gunda’s will florish and bring more difficulties to the spirit of our nation!!…

bravo hitesh…..
I am INDIAN ….n i am not a fool !
……. Then what is he ?? How easy it is for ‘YOU’ (refering to INDIAN) to point out SHIV SENA OR MNS for thier pro extreme. why is that you not pointing out to Rahul for commenting that it was north indians who saved mumbai out of terror attack.
You say who are they to stop screening of movies>> if they dont how will it fall on ur deaf ears as ‘YOU’ only know bollywood and Cricket only. (come on they are MBA they know to do marketing).
Fine letz agree to YOUR comment for a minute then who are THEY(refering to ppl whom YOU are considering are good and doing something good for INDIA) to commenting on IPL bycotting Pakistan Players,
For a comment Like this-”YOU shold not have done this to Pakistan” It is my fundamental Right to Speak.
and For a comment Like this”Then Go to Pakistan” is it not a fundamental Right?????
YOU say Right to equality, Right to live anypart of country. Why is that a common man like me cannot buy a land in JAMMU KASHMIR.(i have no legal rights ) I hope ‘YOU’ (indian) know this
Why is that ‘YOU’ come out Raising a question like
In last 10 years what have you done for this city apart from attacking media houses? Apart from protesting progress? Apart from attacking youngsters on Valentines Day? Apart from advising Amitabh Bacchhan, SRK and Mukesh Ambani on what they should do? Apart from using abusive language for anyone who …. (are this things commented not commented make any difference to INDIA)
INSTEAD …..why dont ‘YOU’ come out with same agression raising a question Like Why deny the right to buy land in Jammu & Kashmir to 100 crore Indians? Why is Noorani silent on this fundamental right ? What happend to Upper part of J&K not refered to in our INIDA MAP anymore? Why is it taking too much time in giving justice to Terror victims? What is that Govt doing for the security of common INDIAN? Where is the 100day plan? Should we take US approval in taking the action against Terror? instead commenting on shiv sen not allowing austraila play in mumbai.. why not question govt how are they handelling this issue.? to question you what have you personally done for it? but you have a problem if Shiv Sena raise there VOICE about this issue by not allowing them to play.
Plz dont take me to be pro Shiv senik or extremists … my answer is –society runs in tandem with good and bad together. Dont you think people like this keep check on rulling govt (though little in a wrong way) which you and i cannot. Ask yourself for eg that do we know anything about what steps have govt taken with issues like australia.
IF you still not convienced then i ll agree to you…..
….. that SRK has fundamental right and shiv sena has no right.!!! we should not hype the issue about australia’s cruel hospitality. and blame them…. (n look poor while staying thr).
We should cover up and not talk on major issues on J&K , not question congress on 26/11 kasab issue, instead … INSTEAD… )))) come out and reply back talking about valentines day, MJ, western adaptation etc etc … . . . … . . .. .
I think you are taking this discussion on different track buddy…
But let me answer some of the question that you have raised…
Q – why is that you not pointing out to Rahul for commenting that it was north indians who saved mumbai out of terror attack.
A – I will again advise u to listen to the comments properly b4 makin ur assesmnt out of it. He was aying this in the refernce to shiv sena in a manner that shiv sena alwyz makes it point abt mumbai n it people den y dint they recognised that NSG commandos were from all over india…. ( he even talked abt commandos from gujarat bihar up and mp… Yes i have listen to that interview….)
Q – Fine letz agree to YOUR comment for a minute then who are THEY(refering to ppl whom YOU are considering are good and doing something good for INDIA) to commenting on IPL bycotting Pakistan Players
A – If ur refering to SRK here, then let me remind u that he the owner of IPL team which he ha bought paying money for making money…. I think every business owner has rite to comment on sometin which affect his business. Its all abt money honey.
Q – why dont ‘YOU’ come out with same agression raising a question Like Why deny the right to buy land in Jammu & Kashmir…….
A – Good question… since u have raied this question i hope u know t hat JnK is disputed area between indian n pakistan as per UN resolution…. the map which is official in india alwayz shows JnK whole as indian part its only internationl agencies which shows it different because its disputed area ( u n I cant do anythin abt it). If the terroe victim are not getting justice it is because the way indian judiciary functions. its law which cant be changed as per ur n my whims n fancies… I hope u know that…
Q – For a comment Like this-”YOU shold not have done this to Pakistan” It is my fundamental Right to Speak.
and For a comment Like this”Then Go to Pakistan” is it not a fundamental Right?????
A – Tel me who has said this…? Buddy pls dont get carried away by emotions… My suggestion is pls go back to the ORIGINAL statement made by SRK if ur refering to him. Nowhere has he mentioned what ur attributing to him.
Q – society runs in tandem with good and bad together. Dont you think people like this keep check on rulling govt (though little in a wrong way) which you and i cannot. Ask yourself for eg that do we know anything about what steps have govt taken with issues like australia.
A – I agree with u that society runs in tandem with good n bad but i will never agree that such elements keep check on ruling govt. Opposition party has very constructive role in democracy by saying ”PEOPLE LIKE THESE KEEP CHECK ON RULING GOVT” ur doin dis service to democracy. ( m sorry i had to say this)
Those things which u have suggested me to i the real job of opposition party. We have elected them to ask govt why is it they unable to provide security to people, why is it the 100 day plan, what is progress on economy, why is noorani silent on fundamental issue, why national awards are being given to ppl like sant singh chatwal, y common man like u cant buy land in JnK? these are the question which THEY are suppose to ask not me, its their job to do it, not goin on protesting movie screening and advising ppl on what to do n what not to do….. I hope ur gettin my point…
Q – that SRK has fundamental right and shiv sena has no right.!!! we should not hype the issue about australia’s cruel hospitality. and blame them…. (n look poor while staying thr)
A – I think u fgt the GOA incident that i have mentioned. what hospitality ur talkin abot? i think its better we dont talk abt indian hospitality.
Q – We should cover up and not talk on major issues on J&K , not question congress on 26/11 kasab issue, instead … INSTEAD… )))) come out and reply back talking about valentines day, MJ, western adaptation etc etc …
A – I m really saddened by this comment buddy, we all talk abt these issues, yes we do… but whats wrong in raising the issue which i have raised? U really think whats goin on is justified? fgt abt mumbai what sri ram sene and muthalik is doin in banglore is justified? Comeon buddy… I know we have bigger issues also n we gotta start from somewher… Is it wrong if m starting from here???
@ JIGNESH
Would like to have ur opinion on certain issues….
1 – you wont allow Australians to play in IPL because of the attack on Indians in Australia, you conveniently forget that these attacks are ethnic and similar in nature with the attack you carried out on north Indians living in Mumbai. If this is the logic then Sachin Tendulkar should not be allowed to play at Kanpur.
2 – You want reservations and quotas in public sector then why not ask for quota in military? Try and introduce quota in military and then will see how many posts you can fill in.
3 – how many MPs you have in parliament? How many MLAs you send to state assembly? When was the last time you formed govt on your own in this state? Difficult questions, isn’t it?
4 – Why stop screening of a movie which is a joint effort of so many people from so many walks of life? Just because you have got problem with one person?
I hope these questions have some meanin and deserve some attention b4 we go on to some more important issues like Jnk, terrorism and 100 day plan.
Your attempt is very straightforward , i liked every bit of it !!
We all know that whatever Shiv Sena or MNS is doing is wrong, but are we the only people to think alike…… no…. there are a lot of people who think like us, but they don’t come out and protest ,don’t protest like they do, but atleast we can raise a voice and do something about our INDIA, not my state or my city….
SHIV SENA head said to the Cricketing legend Mr.Sachin tendulkar to be a good Marathi, i guess he has done his bit of being a true INDIAN,
Actually these people don’t have a problem with other states people or other communities , but i think they have a problem with each and every person who counters them.. like Sachin did….
The proud these people have on Bombay has not been earned only by them, it is growing by all of us .. Bombay doesn’t belong only to Thackery , in other words .. To Marathis…
Bombay is touching the sky because of the different communities present here from the country ..
It’s anyone’s guess, The Cause:-manufactured altercation or semantic disapproval. The effect is largely agreed by everyone as regressive, so that’s not a debate I reckon. It’s the combination of smart timing of statement and the human nature to draw correlation that has resulted in the kind of media bytes. SRK gets a vote from me for a couple of reasons:-
1) The entire episode stirred people’s minds and churned relevant discussions(democracy, patriotism, politics..) across the board(verbal, e-mail, online, broadcast) which would have otherwise been involved in trivial talk. This has helped in orientation of young minds.
2) The benefits to the real economy. Value generation in spaces such as Print, Broadcast, Ad, Movie, Multiplex, etc. someone told me Indo-Pak trade actually picked up post this episode.
