Just now i read the article written by Rajdeep Sardesai (Jai Maharashtra) . Rajdeep sardesai is one of the few journalist i love to hate. I always thought him very biased and through this article he has proven me right. Read these lines: "I must confess, my regional genes were riding high too at the prospect of a Maharashtrian lady occupying the highest constitutional post in the country". Is this anything else but senseless "Regionalism"? Feeling high, just because someone from your region is going to be the President? (Even if so much controversies are associated with her ). I don't understnad how same "Mr. Rajdeep" question about Castism and secularism from the leaders of India? How the hell "regionalism" is not worse than castism. Both of these are determined by your birth and you don't have any control over them. Even if you want it, there is no way to change it.
I am not a history student but i have a lot of interest in history. As far i know the only "some what" great ruler Maharashtra has produced is "Shivaji". I am saying some what, because if you compare him with Ashoka, Chandragupta Maurya, Akbar, or even Aurangjeb you would find that he ruled over a very small portion of India. I don't know any great Book written during his period, i have not read about any monument made by him which can be counted as great. Then what is their in history for Maharashtra to be proud of? I agree, that there present condition is better than many parts of India, But i think most of the contribution for making Mumbai the financial capital is done by non-Maharastian.
The most important contribution Maharastra/Mumbai has given and is visible is in the field of "Cricket". And the reason is well known to everyone.
I am not against Maharashtra, but i am against the baseless claims and shallow pride.

Everyone is having the same face, hidden behind different masks. Mr Thakare says that he is also going to support Mrs Patil, because, she is a Maharashtrian. But it should be asked from him, if there were some Muslim candidate, would it be same for him? The problem is that, they are Maharashtrians first and again Maharashtrian....there is no question that they are Indians.
यदि यह प्रान्तवादी मानसिकता गलत है तो यदि गहरे सोचेंगे तो राष्ट्रवादी भी कहीं न कहीं गलत ही होगी । यदि व्यापक रूप से देखा जाए तो मनुष्य मात्र ही क्यों प्राणी मात्र से प्रेम होना चाहिये ।
घुघूती बासूती
आपकी बात बिल्कुल सही है कि आदर्श स्थिति तो यही होती कि लोग देश प्रेम कि जगह प्राणी प्रेम पर ज्यादा जोर दें, पर फिलहाल निकट भविष्य मे यह संभव नही दिख रहा। हमें कँही ना कँही अपने समाज को define करना ही पड़ता है. पहले ये कबीलों के रुप मे था, फिर धर्म के आधार पर हुआ और अभी ये देश के आधार पर चल रहा है। जिस तरह एक धर्म के अन्दर हमलोग किसी भी तरह कि वर्ण व्यवस्था का विरोध करते हैं उसी तरह एक ही देश के अन्दर रहकर अपने अपने प्रांत को लेकर लडाई करना या बिना मतलब का proud feel करना मुझे बड़ा ही बेकार लगता है।
जैसा कि गौरव प्रताप जी ने कहा कि हममें से कुछ लोग सिर्फ Maharashtrian हैं ना कि Indian। यदि ये बात किसी बाल ठाकरे ने कही होती तो मुझे कोई खास प्रॉब्लम नही होती क्योंकि उनकी तो रोजी रोटी ही इसी से चलती है। पर राजदीप सरदेसाई जैसे पत्रकार, जो आजकल खुद को नैतिकता के ठेकेदार समझतें हैं , के मुँह से ऐसी बातें उनके चरित्र को हमारे सामने ही लाती है।

LOL , you guys are funny. Rajdeep Sardesai is against of her candidature. He has specifically mentioned and raised credibility and credentials of this lady by noting will , "Will she be able to re-invent presidential role just as Dr.Kalam did ?" ....and he was apprehensive.
Hope this helps. Any "ism" is bad be it regionalism , nationalism , or humanism because it can lead to worst case scenario.
Take care GUYS !
Its misfortune of you guys who dont know gr8ness of Shivaji Maharaj.
The condition from which maharaj saved hinduism in this part of India was not child game...
Any way 2 understand their greatness u have 2 born as MAHARASHTRIAN...
He was greatest ruler in India for us because mighty not great Aurangzeb could not catch him and died here in Aurangabad. If you don't know anything about Maharaj, please keep your dirty mouths shut. No ruler becomes great by building monumets and all stupid things. First and foremost duty of ruler is 2 maintai peace n justice which Maharaj did. Please dont compare him with all rulers came from inhertage of power and Wealth.
He was not born as a king. He made his empire with blessings of Maa Bhawani and Samartha Ramdas Swami.
He was not just great,he was the greatest. Britishers used 2 b afraid of him..
If u don't know anything, read his history and post coments thereafter.
JAI BHAWANI JAI SHIVAJI JAI MAHARASHTRA
