Nahvind Times Open Letter to Raj Thackeray Published on: September 7, 2012 By Rajdeep Sardesai
Dear Raj, Post-script: I have many Bihari friends today, including my driver, an honest God-fearing man from Darbhanga who is driven by a singular desire to ensure his children get the best possible education. He asked me the other day why Raj Thackeray disliked Biharis so much. As a proud Maharashtrian and Indian, frankly, I had no answer. -- If I remember correctly Rajdeep hailed his Goan birth in an interview to Goa Today when the magazine declared him Man of the Year some years ago. The Goa government has instituted an award in his father's name for outstanding sportspersons. It was given recently to a youngster and the award was presented by Rajdeep's mom. I can understand the proud Indian part. Disowning his Goan part is the problem. Eugene Correia
