Mumbai Mania

Mumbai mania, its a perfect name for whats happening today, Mumbai is in the midst of chaos. Sadly the city who was known to be resilience where during the some of the toughest times like the bomb blasts or the floods came together as one, where caste, creed and division took a backseat has now been shattered.

The fabric of the city was slowly torn, but in recent times it has been much worse. It started off in February this year when Raj Thackeray, the right wing leader of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) enticed his followers to beat up North Indians.

This Sunday the students who came from North to give an exam in Mumbai were jointly trashed by the MNS and the Shiv Sena you can watch the video below.

Post that Raj Thackeray was arrested early this morning and he was taken to the Bandra Court. He had warned the government that if he was arrested they would burn down Maharashtra. As he stated his party members got violent and started a destruction rampage. Most of the shops in the city were closed today and the leader was sentenced to two weeks in judicial custody.

A huge number of police were deployed to keep the situation in control, they even ended up lathi charging people. We do hope there is a peaceful end to this turmoil at the moment the situation is quite grim.
