We Vidarbha-wasi must be staunchest followers of Mahatma Gandhi! (Of course a little gratitude shown here for the Ashram by Bapu at Pavnar, Wardha).Just like Bapu protested against British by keeping them in power, we Vidarbha-wasi (Vids) kept on agitating silently by electing Congress for elections after elections. Though that also meant few 100 thousands of our farmers had to take their lives.
We Vids, never ever even squeaked when we found that after spending thousands of crores of rupees there's nothing in Ghosikhurd Dam, which can stop suicides! Instead the water has turned into big time mullah for contractors and quietly flown into western Maharashtra. And now a certain Mr Pawar will have to ease himself into the dam(n) to fill it up.We were again protesting (of course silently) like Bapu when power surplus Vidarbha was milked to run Sugar factories in farthest of corners of my beloved Maharashtra.
And hence This Language Jingoism by fellow brothers and sisters (can't afford to be branded as misogynist) down south and fight over trivial resource such as Cauvery water baffles me! Why are Dravidian folks fighting amongst each others? Who will fight the Aryans from North? Don't we need to be together to fight brutal imposition of Hindi on Dravidian land?
And talking of love for language of birth makes no sense to me.And are you aware how we Vids fought for our mother tongue? We simply stopped speaking in Marathi! So that our Hindi speaking brethren can feel at home!
