Raj Thakeray and Us

I have always believed, that a true leader delivers not what is expected, but what is needed. Raj Thakeray proclaims himself to be the so called leader and representative of Maharashtrians. I would like to question, what has he delivered to fulfill the needs of Marathi people. If he is so concerned about Marathi asmita, why dosen't he do something to create greater love and respect for them. Today, we all know about Gujaratis. Their enterprising attitude has brought laurels to our country. Narendra Modi has created an environment in his state that creates jobs for his people. Why dosen't Raj Thakeray do something similar. Why can it not come to his mind, that he should work with the government of Maharashtra to create infrastructure and industries that provide jobs for his people. Why is it that time and again, we Indians fall prey to such dirty politics. When will we grow up beyond all this and start thinking at a community level, about how we can raise our standards and contribute to create a safer and better place for our children.
