ParPraantiya….

Seems like all the fuss going on the “Par Prantiya” issue has gone down now.
Finally the court had to intervene. And again all the dirty politics going on as usual…
But frankly…. That was a real bad thing to do… I don’t think it is going to lead to “Nava Nirman” of Maharashtra in any way. If at al it does contribute then it will contribute in taking the state a few years backwards I think.

After the MNS people made all the north Indians move out of Nashik, it was none other than Maharashtrian entrepreneurs who suffered. I still remember a quote from one of them in Times of India.
He said he won’t mind and would happily employ Maharashtrian people, but they don’t want to work as hard and as dedicatedly as north Indians… and still they want higher salaries.

I think in one shot he tols the root cause behind the presence of all the people who MNS is now trying to target. It is nothing but simple basic funda of demand and supply.
All the jobs that these north Indian people do; if Maharashtrian people would have taken them up, then there was no need of these people from outside here. It is only because we are not ready to do these jobs which we think are of low category that the people who are willing to do those jobs have come to this city.

We prefer to stay unemployed and then cry about other people coming and taking up out jobs than to try to take up available jobs. Every society needs all the roles to be played for its smooth functioning.
We need Doodhwala… we need SubjiWala…. We need the fruit vendors…. We need the Taxiwala… we need sweepers… we need Lundriwala…. BhelPuriwala… all these are as essential ingredients for the society as are doctors and engineers and clerks.

But we have a certain mentality set…. We want only the higher category jobs…. We don’t want to start our business…. That’s why all the Guajarati’s and Marwari’s thriving in the city.

This reminds me of one more thing…. What is definition of “Par Prantiya” ? why only people from Bihar and UP are being targeted? Why not Guajarati’s, South Indians , Bengali’s?
Are the not outsiders? Are they not eating up on jobs of Maharashtrians? In fact these people are in the areas that are of interest to Marathi people like High profile jobs and businesses etc.
Instead of them... the poor people from Bihar and UP are being targeted. Those poor people who starve sometimes…. They sleep in footpath to make sure that they send money back home to their family. Instead of learning and picking up the hard working tendency and dedication from these people, they are driving them out for no fault of theirs.

Only a “Bhaiya” can sell fruits during day and then sleep on the same hand cart out in open during night. I respect them for this hardworking ability.
They have done nothing wrong by coming to Mumbai. They are also Indians and they have full right to settle in any city they wish to.

It also reminds me of my days as a “par prantiya” when I was staying in Bangalore and Hyderabad. By strict definition and by the current MNS rules…. Even those people could have driven me out. And I think Raj should also keep in mind that now Maharashtrian people are also settling down in other states. What will happen to them if other states decide to give tit for tat?

Again some days I ago I heard a person saying in train that ever since Laloo became railway minister fe filled up entire railway with people from Bihar. I will say… why Suresh Kalmadi could not do the same for Marathi people when he was in the ministry? We don’t pick up opportunities and then we cry when someone else picks them up.
I think the old saying that termed Marathi people as crabs who are happy pulling each others legs... still holds true….
We won’t to do and we won’t let others do….
