Harsh reality in Mumbai right now

Completely agree with Sudsrshanji's views. While preserving local culture is all.fair, the son of the soil or daughters of the soil do not want to put innhard work, are happy with their state of affairs, want yo keep going on holidays, don't want their lot to.improve through education. And I am someone who works very closely on ground. And this is a problem with every local in every state. Why can't they think of improving their lot and their state. Also we talk of one country and at the same time we talk of one state pitted against the other . Can there be a greater paradox than this ? more  

UBT & RT give only lip service and make it a political stunt but have never done anything to promote and empower Marathi manus excepting thrashing UP/Biharis and extorting money. And this is not limited and restricted to Mumbai alone, entire Maharashtra is captured by non-Maharashtrians. While I am not against any State immigration, yet the fact remains that Maharashtrians are not interested in any sort of acquiring the business skills nor are these so-called Marathi manus warriors doing anything for this. more  

Influx and migration into large cities in India are not uncommon, as they are centres that provide work and livelihood. The issue is that some Bhoomiputra are complacent or reluctant and do not want to take up some roles/assignments. This eventually means that such roles/jobs/ tasks get taken over by people from other states. More than political outbursts, genuine social reforms are needed. When asking for special training centres for the Marathi Manoos, why doesn't anyone think about how the outsiders manage? Do they have any special training centres, or have they taken initiative to go after opportunities as it was necessary to sustain their existence? Maintaining the local culture, the local language, and traditions is fine. But do they come in the way of people? The outsiders do bring in different cultures, but that does not mean that the local culture gets automatically diluted. Over time, Mumbai (and several other cities in India) have this unique cosmopolitan culture, but at the same time, cultural traditions unique to the state continue. Ultimately, a language is a means of communication and helps in conducting trade and commerce. No political party has a copyright on language, tradition, or practices. As long as outsiders are not harming the local language, tradition, and culture, no one should have an objection. Using emotional rhetoric is an old way for politicians to garner support. By resorting to violence and restrictive measures, they will only put the entire city/community behind. As far as local people are concerned, the questions they need to ask are "Do they want to be car mechanics/plumbers/AC technicians/electricians/carpenters, etc, or do they have better options?", "Do locals aspire to be masons, food delivery agents, couriers, taxi drivers, fruit/vegetable, and did anyone stop them from being so?" If certain activities are outsourced because the locals do not want to manage them, there is no cause for complaint. Even if you set up training centres in such fields, it will not garner much traffic. The problem is not one of the common people; it is something that the cunning politicians want to create because they want to use it as a means to benefit. The real problem is that there is a lack of uniform growth across the country, and that is leading to a migration to cities and the concentration of a large number of people from other places. But sadly, no one is working enough to change that. more  

Absolutely correct. What ever u said is correct and they r doing everything petty politics . more  

No preference should be shown or given to any one based on caste, religion, community or language. Recruitment and Training must only be on merit. Bombay is a cosmopolitan city - a mini India in many ways. Let us keep it that way. The only way to equitable prosperity and accelerated growth more
