You yourself made this about Shiv Sena which supports your agreement about AB

If people cant even distinguish who is on their side in a debate and for that I cant be faulted😉

Well, supporting your region's team and beating up on people from different regions who made your region their home are two totally unrelated scenarios😊

We can - I am supporting King's XI Punjab 😃 In my case it's all about favouritism - two of my favourite players belong to that team 😛

Any state govt's or their leaders' policies/actions shd be relevant, stay people oriented, and strengthen the over all humanity overtime. Thackrey's reaction here is not relevant to either India's ( as a whole) or Maharashtra's ( in particular) economy or the well being of people there. as long as bachhan's school is helping the masses instead of select few elites, how does it make a difference whether those masses happen to be in maharashtra or u.p.? bottomline is poor girls of india will reap the benefits. what's there to get so het up about?

i feel all elites shd come together and start working towards the betterment of humans rather than the betterment of state/society/region only. this is the only way to prevent imbalance between different regions in a developing or underdeveloped country. we see the remarkable difference in the literacy rates of kerala and bihar…or kerala and u.p. if our leaders and elites become more human-centric rather than region/religion/state-centric, we can create synergies and help the masses at grassroot levels all across the country rather than in a particular region only. if someone has a problem with where the school is going to be built, they can very well open in the area they deem more needy…be constructive in their reaction rather than destructive....who's stopping them?

Thackrey, in the name of state security/wellbeing, ended up creating havoc in mumbai and damaging public property which resulted in direct and brutal human insecurity in his very own state...leave alone akkha bharat. kahan ki samajhdaari hai yeh????? tumhey samajhdari nazar aatee ho toh batao zara😉

Very well written Gauri, and i completely agree with you on this. AB is free to open the school wherever he wants, as long as it is benefitting the girls.

Most of the act done by Raj Thackerey who calls himself the so called "true maharashtrian" is to gain political mileage. As we know his party MNS has not been getting votes and he is being sidelined in his OWN state, so what should he do to get public attention and votes from "maharashtrians"?simple, go against the north indians, say that they are taking away your rights and beat them up.

The people who have migrated from north-india to maharashtra have earned what they have on their own capability and have not snached anything from the maharashtrians. If raj is trying to justify his brutal act by putting up this whole arguement of give-marathis-their-rights then it has got to be a joke.

Maharshtra is not a different country, it is a part of our own country, so anyone can go and live there, who is raj thackerey to stop anyone?

And as far as amitabh is concerned, he has alot for maharashtra aswell, the U.P govt. did not have any objections and did not say that "you were born here, why don't you do something for your birthplace?".He has done so much for Breach Candy hospital, for Hinduja hospital, for the Latur earthquake. Even the Itka company, which was initiated by him, is headed by a Maharashtrian.

Almost two thousand - three thousand Maharashtrians are employed by Mr Bachchan's endeavour and this is something no one can dispute.

Raj thackerey deserves a much worse and longer punishtment for what he has done, but unfortunately his party workers won't stop hurting innocent people and creating a havoc if he is arrested.
