Today i was shocked to see what happened on the streets of mumbai, with the Raj Thakeray's men rioting and beating up innocent ppl, taxi drivers and hawkers and just about everyone they thought was not a maharashtrian. It is such a shameful incident in a free and liberal country like india where ppl from all parts of the country migrate to cities in other states, and make those cities their home and even contribute to economy of the city and the state. Is this how you honor or show your gratitude to such ppl? :S I'm sure even maharashtrians wudnt relate with what happened today here...do you think those political ba$tards really care for the common people or the Maharshtrians?? :| All they want is to gain more votes by fooling ppl by such heinous acts..:no:
I really have this question for the Maharashtrians here..do you think what happened here was right? :S
I'm not a Maharshtrian, but i've been staying in Maharashtra for more than a decade now. I can speak and understand Marathi and consider Mumbai to be my home forever. I love it more than any other place in this world. So am i not a part of Mumbai?? :S

Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) activists clashed with Samajwadi Party supporters close to the venue of a rally organised by United National Progressive Alliance (UNPA) in Mumbai on Sunday.
The clash took place before the start of the rally at Shivaji Park where top leaders of UNPA, including Samajwadi Party chief and the group's Chairman Mulayam Singh Yadav, were scheduled to speak.
Some members of the mob were detained and security at the venue in Central Mumbai stepped up, police said.
Activists of both political parties assembled outside the Plaza Cinema in Dadar and indulged in stone pelting. Five cars were also damaged in the incident.
The clash comes hours after actress and Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan's retaliation to MNS President Raj Thackeray's statement against her husband and superstar Amitabh Bachchan.
Incidents of tearing of posters en-route to Shivaji Park in Central Mumbai allegedly by MNS activists to disrupt the rally have also been reported.
