I just realized that Dehradoon, Bangalore, Kozhikode and countless other towns are suburbs of Mumbai and each and every member of NSG, Army, Navy, ATS, Air Force and each and every MARCOS are Marathi and Marathi only. Actually they all reported to this lady Sharmila Thackeray, wife of Raj Thackeray and registered their hometown in her register she regularly maintains. Till now I have not realized that Sharmila Thackeray has access to such information. She knows the state and hometown of each and every soldier and commandos. In what authority and capacity Raj Thackeray’s wife Sharmila Thackeray has such information, we don’t know. Ms. Thackeray has sent an SMS TO Amitabh Bachchan.
Amitabh Bachchan who usually expresses his thoughts and feelings through his blogs, sent me an SMS on Monday afternoon. Visibly angry and frustrated, the “angry young man” of Indian cinema forwarded an SMS that was sent to him by Sharmila Thackeray, wife of Raj Thackeray.
It read, “All those who had lost their lives while saving this city are Marathis. MNS workers are busy donating blood, helping police for rescue operations and lifting bodies.”
I sincerely hope that terrorists don’t get hold of the register Raj Thackeray’s wife maintains. I think now Raj Thackeray’s wife should meet Ambassadors of different countries and convince them that they are wasting their time in Mumbai searching for their nationals. Only Marathis had died in this terror attacks. I am wondering whether attackers too were Marathis in this all Marathi drama?
What Amitabh has to say in all this?
“Can they stoop any lower! After cowering underground while citizens of all nationalities were dying and the others being rescued by the NSG, the navy and the army…this is what they have to say!”
Yes, Mr. Bachchan, they will stoop to conquerer! In this process they will always set a new “low” for themselves.
I understand all these. But Alkadi, tell me one thing. Where do you get such informations?
ROFL…Did she really say that? Maybe she believes that all human beings are one(Read: One=Marathi)??
Alka,the ROFL was to convey disgust,as you must have guessed…hearing each politician’s empty words after the attacks,leaves me with nothing else to react with..
Yes I saw that. Most funny part was – “MNS workers were donating blood”. I said to whom – mosquitos ? I am sure even mosquitos won’t taste their blood lest they will die from dengue themselves !

Be careful, you never know if men in uniform have sides too…bloggers afterall are more threatening then hate politicians and terrorists…
There are so many comments everywhere regarding the terrorists and incompetent politicians.
Is it not fair that we introspect once and see if the so called ‘common man’ is also to blame? Isnt it us who promote regionalism, casteism, undue aggressiveness and teach the next generation the same.
Why should we blame someone who just decides to take aggressiveness to the next level?
Its time to see how we behave as individuals with fellow human beings.
Subhanjan, I don’t get anything as beautiful as you capture with a camera or your third eye. 🙁
Amit, I understand. Most of us are feeling like you.
Manish, How can a Lucknowai write like this? I am wondering. 🙂
Adi, thanks for sharing such link. You are right. They too are human and belong to the same society.
Paradox, you are saying about the terrorist, “Why should we blame someone who just decides to take aggressiveness to the next level?” If this terrorist act is “JUST” for you then your understanding is altogether on a different planet.
We try to differentiate in degrees. But things do not operate in that manner. When on opens the gate, then it is difficult to choose who enters. When we open the gates of violence, then it is difficult to choose what proportions it will take.
Individually, when we are aggressive or violent towards our family, neighbours or other people, we are creating an action which would have an escalating effect later.
My point is/was that if we really desire the change, it should begin with us, rather than expecting politicians to become competent or terrorists to become messengers of peace.
Democracy.
Thanks for comment on my blog. Thanks a lot !
May I know more about you as I read your request about republishing my blog on your post sometimes.
Please reply by e.mail.
Thankyou !
It is about time that we start concentrating what we can do next because now we have enough evidence to make us feel ashamed. This should not also become – see he did this, he did that and they should do this and that.
It is about us at the end of all this?
Did anyone of our lives change in one week? Did we start doing anything which is for our betterment.
We have to ask ourselves.
Its not tool late even now. I pray for all the Indians to understand that only one thing is supereme & above of everything and that is our ‘INDIA’ !!
Paradox, I was reading your comment (“Individually, when we are aggressive or violent towards our family, neighbours or other people, we are creating an action which would have an escalating effect later.”) with great interest. I agree 100%. And definitely the change should come from our side.
HOBO, I have written mail to you.
Tanmoy, if you see, we the middle class have already started the process. Record no of voter turnouts in all the state assembly elections. People have started the campaign to go our and vote. And some news channels are educating people the you can reject a candidate too. We can vote negatively too. And Kerela Chief Minister has apologized to Major Sandeep’s family seeing the All India protest and rallies. Leaders were not coming out of their dens to face the public. HELL! They were not even speaking on TV. And as the blue blooded secularists and channels were skeptical about backlash, see nothing of that sort happened. The Muslim law board refused to give land for the burial of terrorists.
In “we the people” people were thinking of not paying taxes to the government. In many blogs where people were hurling choicest abuses on North Indian and South Indian are talking about truce and Indian spirit. I know one particular blog which have more than 400 comments and maa bahen ki galiyan by southies to northies and vice versa are talking sense. So its not that people and we are not doing anything. Changes are already visible.
Praney I agree its not too late but just the beginning.
🙂 this is going nowhere.
Wasnt the mention of the MNS workers or “Raj Thackrey,s Wife” this case, regionalist by Amitabh Bachhan. I am in no favour of the region based politics carried out by MNS.
But what bothers me is the hypocrisy on the part of Amitabh Bachhan. If he says that Raj Thackrey is trying to get political milage out of this incident, then so is Amitabh Bachhan and he is no different.
If the MNS workers were covering while the NSG commandoes were carrying out the operation, i suppose Amitabh Bachhan was leading the operation from the front !!
