For a Change i Support Shiv Sena

I am a bihari living in Maharashtra working in Pune , You can understand how much wrath and frustration i must be having toward political parties like Shiv sena and Raj thackrey who try to threaten us on a daily basis and are dim-witted extremist group,but i am an Indian first and for a change i support the views of Shiv Sena of not allowing Australian cricketers to play.
Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray, a couple of days ago, wrote in his party’s mouthpiece ‘Saamna’ that he and his party co-workers will not allow the Australians to enter Maharashtra in order make one point clear and straight: attack on Indians in Australia is not acceptable; a point that people sitting in North Block clearly seem to have missed.

I have always hated hardcore fascist parties like Shivsena for many reasons,but i later realized that we need elements like them for counter-attacks on many diplomatic fronts even Pakistan etc.It is the only party which has taken such a good decision on national interest ,why the hell other national parties so silent on this very important issue of our dignity and survival.
Shiv Sena seems to be right in threating Australian players as if they are hurt it certainly will have effect on Australian government and it will take harsh action against people who are committing racsist crime against peaceful Indian students and workers. When they will have fear of retalliation then only Mr Kevin Rudd will understand the problem and take it seriously.

True to the core…. Citing an incident again mentioned by Thackeray, when a great actor like Amitabh Bachchan could deny the award offered to him by the Queensland University, so as to protest the racist attacks, then why cannot the Indian cricket team follow suit? I know politics should not be mixed with the sport but everything is fair when a war on our dignity is going on.When players sing thier respective national anthem by keeping their hand on their heart ,if that is not politics than what is it??

It is not that I have some personal grudge against the Aussies, nor I am an extreme nationalist. On the contrary, the Australian cricket team is one team I admire the most.
Then, hundreds of our fellow citizens were killed by psycho terrorists inside our country, and now, many of our fellow Indians are being killed by some Aussie psychos in their country. So why should the outcome be any different? Why shouldn’t the Australian government know that whatever is happening in their country with our people is just not tolerable.
I think Australian players will also be hit economically end their cricket board will certainly pressurize their government to take some action to stop these race attacks.

A colleague of mine quoted Mahatma Gandhi while checking this piece, ‘An eye for an eye will make the world blind!’

I would have agreed to this thought before. But now, I feel, that if we continue to follow that idea, we would be far from solving this issue. I am not ‘Bapu’ who believes in non-violence and tolerance. I am more of a ‘Bhagat Singh’ follower, where ‘action speaks louder than words’!


I think we are too weak in international community and thats why we are taken for granted in every other field. The Indian government has still not been able to take any concrete measures to deal with its counterpart Down Under. And so, I am happy that at least one political party in our nation, the Shiv Sena, had the guts to come up with a statement too direct and straightforward; make your country safe for our men or you won’t be welcome here either!
Shiv Sena inspite of all its negativity is bang on target in this case and i solute there a stand and support them from my heart (Only on this point mind it)
