None of my bong friends have a problem with the word bong - its supposed to be an abbreviation for bangla or bengalee. I am open to being educated otherwise.
Ghaati was originally not a derogatory term, it simply meant people from the western ghaats. Perhaps all parties are over reacting here ?

I say Maharashtrian when I refer to people from that state, I do not use terms like 'ghati' or other derogatory terms. Similarly I am sure you can say Bengali, instead of Bong. But then these are sentiments that can come to 'open' people who care about these things, not to nameless opaques, who spout politics without having the guts to even state their names. For suchlikes, I am sure the impersonal and abusive is the political, from behind that haze of a safe internet. Kudos, keep it up.

In case you are capable of elevating your self from your Maharashtrian parochialism, do please be informed that I did not keep mum. It may not have been on this listserve, but I did protest, incidentally on these two very issues that you mentioned, amongst others. Maybe jumping to unfounded conclusions is another trait of your kind. Is it 'Maharashtrian'? - Aditya B On 18/02/2008, kaps k <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: that is the usual gimmik of this bando..., dear angel, when biharis are killed in assam he keeps mum...when farmers get kicked in nandigram he keep mum...all his heroics emerge out only when local maharashtrians are fighting for their cause.

Next thing you know, you will be picked up and thrashed by the latest goonda of Mumbai, a guy named Raj Thakeray. Anyways, hope you settle down soon, learn to speak Marathi, change your name to Rohan Vermakar, and get lots of friends. In that order. Its the new survival kit for those from North India, where alien places like Delhi are located. Welcome to Mumbai.
