These are Bhaiyyas or migrants from either Uttar Pradesh or Bihar, a very hardworking , self employed community, who have come here to try their luck and make it big in Mumbai.
They ply their trade at the corner of Bandra Reclamation, and the poor class or migrant workers like them utilise their services.
They are cheaper than the salon, open air, you watch the traffic passby sitting here on a limping stool.. getting a clean shave.
The Bhaiyyas , it means brothers , but is used abusively by those who dont like North Indians here in the city of Peace and Commerce.
There is a cat and mouse game at play, the white starched mice all wanting to bell the cat, but is caught in a dilemma ,and a sense of suspense prevails...
Survival of the legally fittest..
Politics is an opportunistic game played by the politicians of all hues , hurt people but without making them bleed too much.
And than another group adds the healing touch...
I read so much between the lines like most of you, but there is no social will to implement , the law should be equal for everyone..
Terrorising humans on the basis of their region or their language is not the Indian way at all.
Building grand statues , parks to commemorate the grandeur of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar is not what the great Doctor would ever want, specially if the people of the state are driven by economic failure of ther region to work in other states where they are treated like second class citizens is not the Indian way at all.
I have been to the city of my birth Lucknow and seen it with my own eyes , the disillusionment and sorrow of the common man.
Every government that comes has done nothing to halt the influx, every train from the North brings in dreamers , to Mumbai, and I agree with Shri Balasahb Thackeray , something has to be done to control this mindless pressure on the infrastructure of the city.
This the Central and the State government should work out amicably keeping in mind the right of an India to work and settle wherever he wants.
Mumbai belongs to India first and to Maharashtra second.
The Mumbaikar whether he is a son of the soil or a Marathi Manoos or a migrant or an old settler, should be given equal opportunity , equally respected
Beating people from any other region or State of India is not the Indian way at all.
I write this not for any reason but the hurt this new mantra of division is causing the milleu and the city of equal opportunity Mumbai.
Let us for once work out a working solution , with love brotherhood through a path of Ahinsa and Harmony..
Time for unfilmy Gandhigiri..
