Thanks Eugene for sharing the below post reg. Rajdeep Sardesai. It is totally
wrong on the part of Rajeep an eminent person now to claim he is a
Maharashtrian now maybe just to gain popularity and acceptance while earlier he
claimed he is a Goa. You cant fool all people all the time, One cant be both at
the same time though can be an Indian at all times.Camilo Fernandes

Open Letter to Raj Thackeray
Published on: September 7, 2012
By Rajdeep Sardesai
Dear Raj,
Post-script: I have many Bihari friends today, including my driver, an
honest God-fearing man from Darbhanga who is driven by a singular
desire to ensure his children get the best possible education. He
asked me the other day why Raj Thackeray disliked Biharis so much. As
a proud Maharashtrian and Indian, frankly, I had no answer.

If I remember correctly Rajdeep hailed his Goan birth in an interview
to Goa Today when the magazine declared him Man of the Year some years
ago. The Goa government has instituted an award in his father's name
for outstanding sportspersons. It was given recently to a youngster
and the award was presented by Rajdeep's mom. I can understand the
proud Indian part. Disowning his Goan part is the problem.
