On one hand Mr. Raj Thackeray wants the entire world to know that Mumbai and Maharashtra belong to the Marathi people, while on the other hand he also wants to make sure that all the taxis of Mumbai are driven by Marathis.... What a funny contradiction.
Does he really believe that the Marathi Manoos would be able to “own” Mumbai by driving Taxis?? Does he even know how much money does a taxi driver make in a day??? Forget owning Mumbai, can a taxi driver even own a house in this city?
On one hand he proclaims that the Marathi community has a natural right on the city and on the other hand he also wants the same Marathi Manoos do all the petty jobs like driving taxis, selling wada pavs, work as coolies on railway platforms….. What a shame.
I am a "Maratha" myself, and am someone who takes pride in being a part of this great warrior community which also boasts of a rich cultural heritage and a great history. This community has not only produced some of the greatest warrior kings and queens of all times, but also have been at the forefront of the society with some of the greatest literature, poetry, architecture and art.
Today, it is a matter of shame that the Marathi people lack good political leaders. They have to look up to people who want them to be driving taxis and selling wada pavs...
