The recent clash between 2 communist parties-RSS & MNS has raised the question on Indianness as a whole. RSS-on one hand has a hindu supported base, while MNS has its foundation on Marathi manoos. Both parties try to keep their community’s interest over others.
The declaration of ”Mumbai for marathis” has attacked the very right of freedom by which you can travel & stay in any part of the country. Development of Mumbai is shared equally by marathis as well as expatriators . Even during 26/11 attack,cops from UP,Bihar & Rajasthan also fought bravely.So,why then at that time MNS didn’t enforced his slogan”mumbau for marathis”.The recent secular remarks by legendary Sachin Tendulakar & SRK resulted in protests outside their houses.This clearly showcasts the ‘dadagiri’ of MNS.
It does not mean that RSS is right in its ways.Who will forget the Babri masjid demolition which was perfectl planned & backed by RSS.Even RSS also divides people on the basis of religion & hits on the basic roots of democracy.From article 370,constitution says that non-kashmiris & kashmiri pundits are not allowed to buy property in Kashmir.
This means “Kashmir for kashmiris”,”Mumbai for marathis”,”rajasthan for rajasthanis” & thus we end up on”India not for Indians but for states””
Where are we going wrong?
In a democracy,we have the right to protest & right to vote as our basic weapons.We should choose that party which may emphasise their community’s interest but does not curb the independence & basic rights of others.If MNS OR RSS are in existence,this surely means that regionalism is still somewhere prevailing in the common man’ s heart.
