Midst the current controversy and agitation prevailing in Mumbai as well as in Bihar, Shobha De's remark on the issue was shocking one. This is what she has to say "In West Bengal, people speak Bengali, in Karnataka they speak Kannada, in Tamilnadu, they speak Tamil. Well the disconnect is happening in Mumbai because people think of Mumbai as belonging to all of India".
Such an stupid remark from one of the most celebrated writers is totally uncalled for. Being a responsible citizen of India she should have thought once before making such an statement.What is she trying to say? Does she mean that Mumbai is her parental property?
Why is she trying to be Mr Gilchrist of Australia, for whom we Indians had lot of respect before he condemned the demigod of cricket of being a bad sport.
She should not follow the footsteps of the uncivilsed son of the soil (read Raj Thackerey).
