Amchi Mumbai
The Sena has to define what a Maharashtrian is. Does talking in marathi make you a Maharashtrian or being born in Maharashtra make you one? If people live in other parts of the country or say in the world do they stop becoming Maharashtrians? Does the Sena want the Marathi people to never leave Maharashtra? Maharashtra is a land I was born in and I hardly ever speak Marathi. But Mumbai will always remain amchi mumbai to all the Bombayites and frankly Bombayites care very little for the rest of the country usually. Why should they? Bombay is a world of its own. Now there needs to be people looking out for interests of local people but the sena's approach is unconstitutional. If the law of a land allows people to invest their hard earned money and most importantly time in a place then if some special interests groups want them to leave, then they should be compensated. In fact constitution makers all over the world should have provided for such scenarios where a cantankerous group of people want to snatch property and livelihood of others on illegal pretext. Perhaps important cities like Bombay, Delhi, and Calcutta must be declared union territory. In fact ever city must compete to become union territory so that they can get universal recognition.
