    Few Q&A:
    1. Who is Raj Thackeray?

    2. Do you remember one good that he has given/brought to the society?

    3. Name one good point about him?

    4. Remember one incident where he was involved for making positive impact to the society?

    This is bad… terribly bad. What will people like Raj Thackeray achieve by all this in long run! Are they less then militants raised and fed in India? These incidences will create even more distances in society. Do we need external enemies when we have these people in our own homeland!

    No one have rights to beat other human (or even animals), wherever they are from. Where are we going? Is this year 2009? Do we live in civilized world? However strong and urgent issues ANYONE has, there are ways to address them. Today, we successfully launched probe/satellite to circle the moon and on the other hand we have issues like Raj Thackeray and company.

    Is state and Indian government running on auto-pilot? It’s shameless for all governments if they cannot stop such maniacs.
