Dinaric....
The problem is something different.
In most part of world, the skilled workforce may be hired from different place, traditional low skilled/un-skilled workers are taken from local populace, if it is available. So, it is normal for Siv Sena to attack bihari taxi driver than attack a bohari IAS officer...
Furthermore, these bhaiyas are source of law and order problem in Mumbai...

uppal yar, there is one perfect solution..bhayyas are indeed really powerful in kendriya sarkar..we got lallu there.

so bhayyas should challange the UPA to get some cash thrown towards mumbai in boosting its infra..railways, sewer for starter.. afterall are railways are near and dear to bhayyas and locals alike..both share the trains and shyte on its tracks.

dilli e.g. gets huge amount of central lagress .. mumbai is unfotunately starved by deshmukh-types who suck-up to upa-walas and that leaves mumbai to likes of thakre. so let A Bachhan and Laloo get pushed by all bhayyas (after all there is at least one bhayya from each family in mumbai) to get mumbai its due infrastructure share or whines of thares will sound like roaring of shers.

Ironic thing is B'deshi muslims too don't need visa to travel, live and work in India.

Re: # 4

Loha
The difference is now and then Thackeray keep threatening of dire consequences .

It is real dhimmitude

All non sainiks should get the first cut or pay in some other forms taxes, trickle down extortion or just being suservient for fear of .

There is some local resentment particularly in Bengal too but it is never violent and as threatening .Morover bengals discontent is more justified .They have a pholosophy and ideology not communalism like Mumbai.And its a cheaper city of all .Delhi does not have da das going around chasing out non delhite

you can make as much as you want in Dubai, kuwait even Saudi pay no taxes send all of it no threat from a foreign country and here you have a part of India treating another Indian as Pariah .Earning in U.K. Usa Canada does not bother the locals or the govt .You dont need visa to travel live work in India but atleast ppl should be granted to do what ever they want to do with it spl when they earn in more honest way than rich netas

okay Uppal, tell us something different. Everyone knows that the big cities in south asia are essentially full of

(a) vice
(b) run by gansters
(c) fronted by corrupt politicians
(d) populated by apathetic pathetic people
(e) bombs in every street corner.

So is it that you want to say?

Uppal, you are all over the place man! Are these your random ramblings or did you have a theme for your article?

Chowk staff, do you guys edit articles before posting on FP?

Uppal ji, glad to know that Mumbai is a very bad place, with very bad politics. As a UPite, I now feel better.
