If I despite being atleast an average writer, don't write against the tyrannical regime of BJP or all the rulers in Delhi who are out to destroy the Marathi language, or rather, Maharashtra the identity of my state...
If, even today, seeing the devaluation of the surrounding social and traditional circumstances, our pen doesn't flare up...
Seeing my marathi fellow men with a DNA that revolts against injustice, so misguided that they are now conspiring against their own Marathi culture...
If we remain silent and ignore it, and keep deluding ourselves into believing that the monster called BJP is not a monster but an angel...a sinner in the mask of savior!!!
Wouldn't that be considered highest form betrayal of our mother tongue, Marathi, the language we received from our mother's milk?
There is no greater misfortune than the fact that the number one Marathi-hating party in the country is receiving protection in Maharashtra. And the Marathi brothers who are rushing to defend them are so deeply immersed in their love for that party that they don't even realize that they are contributing to the destruction of their mother-like Marathi land for the very party which is building its castle on the funeral pyre of maharashtra?
Why don't we evaluate political parties based on principles?
It would have be only surprising if the venom that BJP carries and its foot soldiers who spew hatred for abandoning Hindutva, and the blind followers who beat the drum for the BJP without any regard for consequences or rational thought, hadn't affected the Shiv Sena, the real Shivsena.
The Shiv Sena has consistently taken positions that are supportive of Marathi or the state of Maharashtra. Even during Balasaheb's time, the Shiv Sena and Balasaheb himself supported the Congress for Pratibha Patil's presidential candidacy – that is history.
And shouldn't those who beat the drum for the BJP see that the cunning Fadnavis is enjoying the fruits of power by sitting with the very people he campaigned against, calling them corrupt? Where did your Hindutva go now? You put them in jail, and then you released them from jail and put them in power... some were even made Chief Ministers. Those who don't understand even after seeing all this are the blind followers, aren't they? And the BJP's agenda is that Hindutva means only the existence of Hindi. In their definition of Hindutva, there is no place for the Marathi language or any language from South India. Even knowing this, the blind followers of this ideology, more than the political party itself, will be responsible for the permanent damage to the country by falling into the trap of this false concept of Hindutva.
And most importantly, when the BJP's steamroller runs over the country, everyone, including these blind followers, will be crushed under it.
Their plan is to corrupt the Indian judiciary, dismantle the constitution, seize control of the country's autonomous institutions, use central power and money to harass opposition leaders, and somehow grab power.
And then to praise themselves as the sole saviors... There is no greater example of narrow-minded intelligence for someone who calls himself a Chanakya!
There is no other party that wears the crown of eternal power on its head, leaves everything else exposed, roams around naked everywhere, and yet preaches the philosophy of patriotism to the people.
They criticize Pakistan for injustice, forced conversions, and atrocities against its minority communities, and then behave exactly the same way here. Handing over all the country's industries to a single businessman, imposing the language of Delhi's rulers on Maharashtra despite the linguistic reorganization of states, and then our own Chief Minister and his non-Marathi companions building the pyre of our own language and state – as if this wasn't enough, we have our own Marathi people happily carrying the urn of ashes of our state to the crematorium!!
To be continued!!!
Pankaj Kanade!!!
