A correction , the word hindu film industry below is typographical error
and should read 'Hindi film ' industry,
as some close associates and others linked to this organization make Hindi
films or associate with the
film industry which makes predominantly Hindi films ,while stirring up
needless controversies on Marathi ,
while their own children study in English medium schools . One language for
the poor and middle classes
another for the rich and politically powerful classes .The para military for
the violence in Eastern and
Central India in contrast no steps against violence and threats in the
Western regions including against
Police officials investigating criminality and bomb blasts .

In the context of the stationing of para military forces in Orissa ,
Jharkand , Chhatisgarh among other regions in Central India for Operation
Green Hunt even as Amnesty International exposes what Multinational Companies
are upto in the region ,it is necessary to contrast and place on record that
thousands of people have been killed in the Western regions of the country in
Maharashtra , Gujarat in particular, without any serious attempt by the Union
of India to take action against organizations involved who openly are committed
to violence and not to democracy or democratic methods and threaten people on
a daily basis in Mumbai, where there is a government of the same party as in
New Delhi .
Whereas the attacks on people of Indian origin have to be condemned
severely more attacks have taken place on people of Indian origin in Mumbai
than in Australia on the ground that they are migrants or belong to minority
groups or have exercised their freedom of speech in collusion with the law
enforcement authorities .If Indian citizens can migrate to other countries and
that includes people from Mumbai and Maharashtra , what is the logic in
citizens of India being prohibited from working in other states of the Indian
Union.
Whereas ordinary working people on daily wages are being asked to learn
Marathi, the same demand is not being made on CEOs of Indian and foreign
corporate houses in Mumbai who have the facilities to learn the language ,
even as the children of many of these political organizations are in private
schools which has English as the medium of instruction and associate with a
predominantly Hindu film industry in Mumbai .
The Shiv Sena incidentally took no similar action against Mr. Advani or Mr.
Jaswant Singh who extolled Jinnah the real architect of partition in collusion
with the Imperial power , book shops or halls or meetings in which these
leaders books were available or spoke were not attacked , similarly it was
pointed out in a TV debate that a Pakistani cricket player was hosted by a
leader of the Shiv Sena.Similarly the Shiv Sena did not criticize Mr.
Chidambaram ,the Home Minister or demand that the Home Minister leave for
Pakistan, when he openly stated that the IPL should not have discriminated
against Pakistani Cricket players as there was no such reservation expressed by
the government .
When Mr. Hemant Karkare , a senior Police Officer and a Marathi manoos
received serious threats for exposing by his investigation the covert forces
behind the bomb blasts , what the situation in Mumbai can be understood , a
complete erosion of law and order over several years and yet no one has taken
any action against repeated violence perpetrated in the city of Mumbai against
individuals and establishments even as violence in Central India invites
Operation Green Hunt , the citizens of the country are entitled to ask what
about the violence based on religion , region and against those who investigate
the criminality of organizations .
Or is the policy against political violence a selective one, as Roman
Rolland the famous writer had written to Mahatma Gandhi from Europe
questioning the source of violence , that it was the major Corporations in
Europe who were perpetrating war and violence on citizens in the period prior
to and during World War II .
It appears that there are organizations and individuals in Pakistan and
India who keep the divide alive to attack innocent citizens on both sides on
the basis of the policy of divide and rule which serves Imperialism in South
Asia as in 1947 for better occupation, restructuring of the region and
seizure of resources . The Pakistani Taliban and Al Qaeda and the Indian
Taliban are useful entities for an on the ground destruction of democracy .
For the source of violence read the reportsof the Srikrishna Commission
confined to the dustbin by the State of Maharashtra and the Union of India
among other reports , even as the Judge himself is appointed to head the
Telengana Commission an indication of a confidence in his abilities .

This is not the first attempt to coerce citizens by diverse
organizations acquiesced in by the State
of Maharashtra at the highest levels. A complant lodged with the State
of Maharashtra Law and Home
Departments and with the Police by a citizen from Pune on the
editorial written in Saamna against Mr. Hemant
Karkare, Jt. Commission of Police Mumbai ( A Marathi Manoos )which
prima facie constituted a threat and
which appeared on the morning of 26/11 the day he was assassinated,
has not been investigated till date .
Saamna is merely the mouth piece of the diverse financial interest
groups Indian and foreign who attempt to
control Mumbai with the help of the underworld to involve Indian
society in diversionary issues against the
unity and integrity of the country .Organizations are created and
floated as per the immediate interest to
be met, some time in the name of the Shiv Sena and its new adjunct ,
sometimes the Indian Mujahideen ,
Al Qaeda , Indian Fidayeen etc. etc

An Open Letter to the Maharashtra Chief Minister
The Chief Minister
Maharashtra
Dear Mr Ashok Chavan,
Every society gives enough warning signals before turning totally
anti democratic and fascist in nature. If we go back in history we will find
that even in fascist Germany the first attack came on the freedom of expression
of artists and intellectuals. It is very natural as the struggle for peace,
democracy, secular thought, justice and communal harmony is waged by sensitive
and creative people. The dream of an equal and just society has always been
projected by either the mass movements of ordinary poor and marginalized
people, secular political forces, human rights activists or has been portrayed
by artists, poets, film makers, theatre directors etc. So those people whose
agenda and preoccupation is to spread hatred and disharmony always attack the
artists, activists, intellectuals and thinkers.
Unfortunately in the past we have ignored these danger signals and
violent acts thus allowing the perpetrators of hate mongering not only to go
scot free but also to further vitiate the atmosphere.
What has been happening in Maharashtra the past few months is
absolutely shocking and is an attack on the democratic rights of the citizens
of not only Maharashtra but all Indians.
I am writing to you as a member of the National Integration Council,
Ministry of Home Affairs and I request you to immediately take steps to ensure
that the goondaism unleashed by the Shiv Sena and MNS is stopped immediately.
I request you to ensure that Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan , whose
effigies were burnt in Mumbai and especially Shahrukh Khan, who has received
threats in the past few days, are given adequate security, that there is no
disturbance when their films are released or screened in theaters. I request
you to ensure that no taxi driver or auto rickshaw driver is harassed for not
knowing or speaking Marathi (its good that you backtracked on January 20 from a
similar unconstitutional stand on the question of issuing licenses to the taxi
drivers) and that their constitutional and democratic rights of working or
living in any part of India are not violated by Shiv Sena hoodlums on the roads.
The kind of filthy language which is being used and threats which are
being issued against the senior leaders of your own party are absolutely
unacceptable and need to be condemned strongly.
I request you to urgently arrest and prosecute those who are behind
the recent incidents.
Sincerely yours
Shabnam Hashmi
Member, National Integration Council, MHA
CC Home Minister, GOVT of India
