As Marathi Manoos kicked sena in its guts , the message is loud and clear. The common man of India will no longer be intimidated/fooled in by parties trying to disguise hooliganism with politics/patriotism/nationalism . The party which tried its best to use democratic tolerance to strangle democracy in the country and the state has been given a fitting response by this simple act of maharastrians of watching the Khan movie.
I was shocked when I saw a person who was once speaker of Lok Sabha i.e presiding office of the highest democratic insitution of India ,Mr Manohar Joshi supporting such moves to force khan to apologise .And as Maha Govt seemed to be dithering before the possibilities of violence, everything seems lost . And at this time , it was the common man who took upon him to show to the rest of world how deeply the values of democracy and respect for individual views are embedded into the Indian psyche.
This simple act will go a long way in strengthening the Indian democracy and justifying all the sacrifices which were made in order to ensure individual freedom in the country ..
Hats off to the Common Man ! Hats off to the Mumbaikars !!
