Menace or MNS?

By Sandhya Sinha

The rise and rise of MNS unruly activities is a thing of concern. Some of the news reporting:

1. MNS targets I-T exam centre (Times of India, page 2, 11th. August 2008, Mumbai). IT exams cannot be conducted because there is not sufficient Marathi representative.

2. MNS warns the cine-world. Next they are going to say, "Make films in Marathi only". No wonder all the big producers are shifting their base to Delhi, Gujarat etc.)

3. All schools to have compulsory Marathi. So people working in transferable jobs (bankers, army personnel, professionals, etc.), be careful - when you are transferred to Bengal, your children will have to learn Bengali, when you go to the South, they will have to learn Telugu, Tamil, and Kannad; when you go to Punjab, they will have to learn Punjabi. Forget math, science, geography. Keep your stress buds concentrated on languages and thank MNS when your children grow up learning various languages. It doesn't matter if they can't master all of them but at least they will be able to keep MNSes of each state happy.

What is all this and where is it going to end? What are they trying to achieve? Recognition? Alright. But what kind of recognition? Is it respectful?

There are Maharashtrian families living in Patna since three generations. They have a palace sort of house and are highly respected in that place, but even their 3rd generation cannot speak a single word of the local dialect! Yet, the city loves them and respects them.

Sandhya:

Thank you for your mail regarding M.N.S. or MENACE. Looks like MNS is a blatantly radical faction emanating from the province of Maharashtra. It is quite clear that you are seriously concerned and rightfully devastated to learn of it's destructive , divisive , disgusting and derogatory practices unleashed all over India.

My firm conviction and unshakable belief is that the onus is on the following 3 (three) segments to eradicate and thus annihilate The MNS once and forever!

(1) The Central (Federal) government of India.
(2) The provincial government of Maharashtra.
(3) The social activists like you all across India.

All these three segments of the government and members of the community must come together in putting a TOTAL STOP to this unpatriotic nonsense tantamount to NATIONAL SUBVERSION. These kind of activities must be prohibited by legislating laws and ordinances to prevent imminent SABOTAGE of the country of India. Failure to do so will cause catastrophic damage to the unity and diversity of India that keeps this nation together.

Please pass this message on to your various national and provincial organizations as soon as possible before it's too late to avert the course of imminent CLEAR & PRESENT DANGER to the very existence of India as a unified nation. - Kris Sahay. (M.S., M.B.A.) - Aug. 20, 2008
