Hypocrisy personified
Shiv Sena leaders who have protested vehemently against Australian cricketers playing in India (as violence against Indians mount in Australia) are either morons who have no brains or they are the worst hypocrites. There is a good possibility they are both. While they think they are justified in striking out at outsiders (outside of Maharastra) looking to make a living in Mumbai, they do not apply the same yardstick when it comes to other nations. Please, I am not justifying the violence against Indians. I am just saying there could be insecurities/resentment at the obvious riches of Indians who have gone there under various visa programs but ultimately made it rich there (or at least started making a living) while some of the natives are out of a job. Isn't this similar to the cause that Shiv Sena purportedly brings to the streets (literally). Now why would a party that supports violence against supposed intruders/trespassers who supposedly usurp the rights of Marathi Manoos take up the cause of Indians abroad who are just that. Aliens/Intruders seen taking over the jobs that are usually snatched from the natives. Just to make myself clear, this post is not a justification for violence in Australia but about the double standards of our politicians.
