Pseudo Patriotism

After the terrorist attacked Mumbai, we received many emails / SMS of anguish, criticism, seeking action from politicians. One of such emails / SMS had been about asking contact number of M N S chief Raj Thackaray. The senders of this email / SMS has been searching Raj Thackaray to ask him where was he when Pakistani terrorists attacked Mumbai? Further, the email / SMS convey to Raj Thackaray that the NSG commandos who eradicated the ultras out of Hotel Taj, Hotel Trident & Nariman House were all North Indians and whether Raj Thackaray would welcome them doing this job. The so called intellect of our society who basically nurture hatred for Mumbaikar Marathi Manus were very prompt in enjoying this stuff and readily circulating the same to win support.

How ridiculous this has been?? The authors of this email / SMS have not only ridicule Raj Thackaray but they have ridiculed the entire Mumbai Police force. Do these people conveniently forget that 15 cops of Mumbai police died in the terror attack while on official duty?? All of them were Marathi Manus!! Are these people not aware that 24 hours round the clock and 365 days a year, it is the Mumbai Police force that has been vigilant to protect the common Mumbaikars during Ganeshostsav, Navratri, Ed, Diwali or Holi and not the NSG commandos! Over 95% of the serving staff of Mumbai police has been Marathi Manus. Do you still dare to question to Marathi Manus over their role in rescue operation?? What are they expecting Raj Thackaray or MNS to do while security forces were busy in rescue operations? Had Raj Thackaray or any officials of MNS shown up near the war zone, the same set of people would have made a hue and cry that MNS used this incident to make a political mileage.

And before we raise some important issues, let us brush up their knowledge on the history of our great nation. It has been the known fact that Islamic states are instrumental in harboring and spreading terrorism all over the world. Pakistan and Afganistan have been at the helm of providing all sorts of support to the terrorist organizations. If one scrolls through the pages of history books, one will find that the seeds of these terrorist states were sowed in the midst of 17th century when Marathas lost the great war of Panipat. The history states that the Maratha statesmen and Maratha warriors consistently fought against the Mughals (Pashtun & Baloch tribal) aggression for centuries. But Marathas struggled hard to get the support from any of the Kings who were ruling other states in India at those times. Marathas lost the war of Panipat not because the enemies were strong but because of the traitors from our own nation. The war of Panipat was a deciding war between Marathas and Mohammad Shah Abdali and turned out to be the loss for our nation. The loss of Panipat was not the fall of Maratha Empire but it was a fall of our great nation. Had Marathas defeated Mohammad Shah Abdali, perhaps Pakistan and Afganistan would not been there today! Marathas did not seek answer from any of the fellow Indians for this distressed defeat! So those PSEUDO-patriotic Indians, please note these facts about Marathas before making allegations!

Did anyone of these dare to send similar e-mails and SMS to Samajwadi Party (SP) General Secretary Amar Singh when SP used the Batla House encounter to derive political mileage?? Couple of months backs in the capital of India, the Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) of Delhi police actioned an encounter at the Batla house. The Inspector Mohan Sharma of ATS succumbed to the bullets fired by the terrorist who were hiding out in Batla House. SP made very hard efforts to prove that the Batla House shootout was a fake encounter. Amar Singh met the Prime Minister of India to set up an enquiry commission. All this drama was done to appease the minority voters. When a north Indian officer was shot dead by the terrorist and a selfish politician was making an issue out of it, did anyone ever take initiative to voice against Amar Singh?

After some days, this terror attack will vanish from the public memory. The lawyers like Majid Memon will rise up to take the legal case of terrorist who has been nabbed by the armed forces. Majid Memon has done this on several occasions in the past. Will these PSEUDO-patriots will have guts to grab Majid Menon and hold him accountable. No! Abu Salem, the prime accused in 1993 Mumbai serial bomb blasts is still alive. Although there are enough evidences to prove his involvement alongwith Dawood Ibrahim the conspirator of the bomb blasts. But the judiciary has failed to hang him till date. The people of Azamgadh took out rallies in support of Abu Salem. He has expressed desire to fight election. It is also surprising that the Indian media is treating him like a national celebrity. Some news-channels have made an in-depth cover story of his affair with Monica Bedi. But none of these PSEUDO-patriots ever felt of condemning this shameful act of the Indian media. Our system has miserably failed to book him for the serious crime that he committed i. e. the conspiracy against the state!!

We all understand that there are serious lapses with our governance model. The politicians assume that security is their privilege but the security of common man is not their concern. There is gross failure of our intelligence system. The PSEUDO-patriots are invited and encouraged if they generate momentum against these issues and not indulge in targeting Raj Thackaray, M N S or Marathi Manus. Appreciate if the circulation of e-mails and SMS on Raj Thackaray is stopped.

The mails in circulation are nothing but a "Cheap" shot once again by so called rightist and so called patriotic minds to humiliate sentiments of Marathi Manoos.
It is mischievous on the part of senders, circulating such out-of-the context mails to insult the intelligence of a Mumbaiker and Marathi manoos in specific. I hv not seen any mails written by anyone, anyone at all, when SP MLA from UP openly announced a booty of one Crore Rupee for anyone beheading Raj Thackaray. This man had a audacity to make this announcement in front of millions of viewers on National TV channels. No channel took it seriously nor made an issue out of it when one MLA, who takes oath under the Indian constitution to protect the law? Believes in killing another fellow citizen. And goes scot Free. Our PM, Home Minister, Lalu Prasd Yadav, Ram vilas Paswan, Amer singh, Mayawati do not think there is anything wrong with such an appeal? The electronic media which keeps spewing poison against Raj thackray also thinks it is not very important news. And these email campaigners too dont send emails and smses to condemn these goondas?

But when it comes to Raj Thackeray and Marathi manoos, they are all ready with Gobel style propoganda. 24X7 visuals are shown. Trials and judgements passed. As if our judiciary is now working from the TV studios. And want to ask Raj Thackaray a mischivous question?
Let me give here the statistics since North Indians are clueless about it and want to humiliate marathi manoos and Raj Thacakray.

This is the detail information about the Marathi manoos who laid down their lives for the mumbai citizens and the forigners

Out of 32 Marine commandos who entered the Taj hotel 12 were Marathi and those 18 ATS persons who died while fighting the terrorists where 100% Marathi manoos and out of 20 injured security persons 16 were maharashtrian.
This is what the Marathi manoos has contributed to the terrorists attacks for the cosmopolitan mumbaites

Before asking Raj Thackaray get your information right and dont play with the sentiments of marathi manoos. We know well, Media is not an independent forum and is sold to sponsors from where their bread and butter comes. And in that, they are all from north. Their professional integrity has always been zero. Whatever news reporting is done is all bias, prejudiced and blown out of proportions simply to get a millage out of it and fuel it further to show Raj Thacaray in poor light. We dont buy their stories. But then it is forced upon us to write about such corrupt journalism and expose their intentions.

Maharashtra has Maratha regiment, Maharashtra has its own police force. Has Fire Brigade. Maharashtra has lost some of the finest commanding officers in this terror attack, like Hemant Karkare, Salaskar, Ashok Kamte besides many police officers and constables who fought fearlessly without proper weapons . Of course, let us not forget all our armed forces, that is local policemen, officers, special task force, South Indians, North Indians, West Indians, East Indians who fought bravely to save the lives of hundreds of Indians. INDIANS, please note.

It is the insult of all these brave men who laid their lives in the fight with terror. They were all fighting for INDIANS, not for Marathi manoos, or north Indians or south Indians. Don't try and mix up issues with non marathi and marathi manoos. This attempt by few people to show Raj Thackaray in bad light at this hour is not only Cheap but an insult of Marathi manoos.

You are conveniently forgetting that the Fire Brigade men were saving the lives of hundreds of Indians when grenades were thrown, AK-47/56 were firing bullets ruthlessly by terrorists in and around Taj, and Oberoi, the men in Blue were all from Mumbai Fire Brigade, just go and check who were fighting to save lives of Indians with NSG? Do not insult these heros. Do not insult our intelligence and National pride. Marathi manoos has a history of keeping National interest first and the Maratha warriors have proved it number of times. Read history. So stop hurting our pride and stop attacking Raj Thackaray singularly because now it is stinking.
The media is playing foul and spreading the poison by its Gobel's style propoganda and trying to turn the heat on. This is a war on India... please do not play politics Now and try to prove you are more patriotic than marathi manoos. You are being arrogant and hurting our pride.
