Linguistic Lacunae

Jawahar Lal Nehru might not have thought that dividing the country along linguistic lines might lead to such ramifications. The first to resist were the Tamils who wanted a separate flag et al. Then came Bal Thackeray with his anti- south indian stance. Now we have his nephew who says all North Indians are persona non grata in amchi Mumbai.Now we Belgaumites ( I prefer this term over Belgaumkars or Belgavnavaru ) have always been in the middle of linguistic loggerhead. The most vociferous had been the MES. But now it saddens ones heart that the kannada faction has resorted to the same tactics. Can our politicians find any other platform other than religion or language to propagate their interests? I think nobody has the balls to raise developmental issues. Will Raj Thackeray issue a dictat against some one who defiles the streets on amchi Mumbai by spitting Pan or Pissing on the streets?
