New Raj in Mumbaistan

The mathematics textbook of my thirteen year old cousin has these words on the flip side of the front cover.
WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC.

Assuming that the children in Mumbai are also reading the same textbooks, one can realize the disparities in practical, moral and ethical teachings imparted to them by the people in power (rather emerged in power). Yes, I am indeed talking about the great Raj thackerey whose phenomenal rise to stardom has been backed up by the phenomenal ignorance exhibited by the people of India. The whole episode has indeed been a lesson in probing about the general intelligence quotient our people foster.
Unlike others, I would not go about the bashing of Mr. Thackeray, rather I would like to congratulate him on his foresight and risk taking capabilities. In a country where multiplying people is as simple as dividing them, its no wonder that such mathematicians weave magic.
Infact, I have a few suggestions for our great leader.
1.Since the filthy people from other states corrupt the opulence and the majesty of Maharashtra, I think politians from other states should stop corrupting Delhi’s assembly with their “outsider” status.
2.Sharukh Khan, Amitabh Bachan and family, Saif Ali Khan with his muse should start packing their bags for a long journey to their respective states. People from Maharashtra are denied entry in the industry they own, because of such unscrupulous people who come from nowhere and make Mumbai their home.
3.A certain strata of society in Mumbai should not be allowed to rise above a particular level; rather they should be kept poor, so that they can serve as menial workers for household jobs.
4.Finally, a word for such obsessed patriotism should reach the countries where outsourcing of work is allowed for pity reasons such as profits. You can actually hold seminars to throw some light on the perils of snatching away the bread of your countrymen, however incompetent may be for some Indians thousand miles away?

But you know sir, I have a strong intuition that you won’t pay heed to my suggestions, not because they aren’t good, but for a simple reason :
"There is no substitute for competence."

Very-Very strong ideas.I must say, the style of narration as well as content is worth an appreciation.Competence,Secularism,National integrity - and few more words of the same genre have been brought under the scanner of late.Thackaray's stupidity..well its not about him either.I will tell you something.One of my wingmates( happens to be from Pune) holds the same opinion that the north indians are POLLUTING the marathi culture.I was in a great sense of awe when he talked about all that crap.Where has the sense of Indianity gone? Fishing? Guess they are eying for a separate nation..Would be better for them infact.
Your post is sarcastically an eye opener for those who deserve a whack ! Good work !!

@ mishra
Thanks a lot. I was really enraged at this episode. And to top it all, people actually believe this crap. This is as good as saying that the grains coming from Punjab are trying to rebel against those from Haryana in your stomach...will you stop eating?
