Mumbai's history and its development is inclusive of the toils of great number of north and south Indians. Bal started this regional chauvinism 40 years ago and now its his wanna be raj. What is irksome to see is educated people giving in to this kind of chauvinism by politically motivated men. I see no difference between the azadis in J&K and men like Raj.

I agree, I agree and I agree! However, I did think your answer to the last question was dodgy. Very. From a viewers perspective, at that point you played right into his supposed trap. Perhaps your answer could have been phrased much better or more forthright. That last answer rubbed off a bit of the lustre.<BR/><BR/>But then he was more than combative. Big difference between being combative and paraphrasing your answers in a twisted "change the meaning" kind of way. I was surprised that you did not either notice or did not call him on it. Which is it/or not? I would have set him straight about every attempt to paraphrase my answers incorrectly. From a ratings perspective, it would be even more masaledaar. But then it was not me on the hotseat and as a viewer I do have the luxury of second guessing and correcting answers.<BR/><BR/>What made the interview interesting was the geographical/cultural outsider perspective he brought to his questions. His questions were very representative of the mindset of ... for example...a Dilliwalla. Still, even as an outsider, his research could have been better and not so simplistic (marathi=no meat eaters= non/marathi polarization); no recognition of legal rights of private societies and thier huge importance in the public lives of Mumbai citizens; only quoting TISS stats (which are by no means the definitive stats); the refusal to consider anecdotal evidence. Glad you cleared up many misconceptions in a clear and forthright manner.<BR/><BR/>This utopia people harp about, never existed. There was always a polarization, a deep divide if you will. Decades ago, even as a protected child, I felt twinges of it. It was palpable like a pulsating boil. Even though I was always a South Mumbai brat (sometimes Dilli too) with the very mistaken idea that Angrezi was my maibaap, I was always aware of this deep divide in my many different Mumbai's. Visits with family members in Shivaji Park, and Hindu colony Dadar and to friends in Jain buildings on Napeansea Road and Walkeshwar and my Khoja second family in Breach Candy, everywhere I was recieved with love and affection, but it was still underlined how differently we all lived and how everyone viewed each other with innate suspicion. Imagine this in every geographical pocket and strata of society in Mumbai. Are we so surprised by polarization? Those who are surprised by this, live in a fools paradise. We do business together, but we were never all the same away from money making endevours. <BR/><BR/>Oh and you looked nice on the videos I saw. Stripey looking prints are always a bit iffy on TV screens so the busy print was a bit distracting but I loved your statement big bead jewellery!<BR/><BR/>And to you, yours and all the blog readers...<BR/><BR/>Aapli Diwali sukhache aso.<BR/>Diwali ki Shubhkamanaye.<BR/>Happy Diwali.<BR/><BR/>Raj Thackrey would be proud.
