In response to a comment I recieved by a friend.....

It’s not just about my approach. A positive criticism by anyone of Dilli looks praiseworthy. But it certainly hurts deep enough and looks objectionable to see consistent criticism from those who have aggravated problems majorly, whose own family or friends or b/f or g/fs create nuisance in this city buses, roads, colleges or offices and still they do bad mouth about Dilli ?


There is no one in Delhi till date who may have criticized the presence of people who believe Dilli is their own national capital and they belong to it. The condemnation is of those disgusting people who arrive in the city and still speak ill of it every time without ever feeling and accepting thank God they have Delhi to take shelter under.


Delhi is paying a heavy price for being a Union Territory. Every State has reservation for its natives to maintain and respect the first right on anything the place offers or possess. But what about Dilli wallas’ right to reservation? Still, criticism. The employment is generated by Dilli wallas and given to people from all States and of all religions, still criticize such people?


The tolerant behaviour of Dilli is becoming a joke as there is an increasing number of people who talk about Dilli as if they are talking to some place in Pakistan or America. Their words, unlike yours or many other sincere and balanced mind people from any part of the country, never seem like they are saying it out of concern. For those words 99 % of the time are said in humiliation of people here and the place.


Delhi has it own culture, lifestyle and whatever it is left with. And, that given no such (critiques) to blurt out anything about it. The day is not far when Raj Thackeray type people will find their proxy here. Even individuals like me who have always supported all as our own people beyond regionalism, may turn the ugly Thackerays. Then who will be responsible for generating such hatred in local people’s minds?


If one cannot improve anything or first himself after arriving at a non-native place as a guest, one should not go so much critical as if his or her words start looking or feeling to the natives as of some enemy existing in their place. The decency and tolerance is still being shown to students and so many other from other states could end any day due to such an loud mouthed approach.


The north-east girls, who dress half revealing and in suggestive manner and many of them even have HATRED for HINDI, deserve what they suffer. I wish to know the place in India where flashing one's undergarments or stripes is viewed as a decent conduct. I want to see that State where indulging in drugs is a welcome. I want to visit that place where you can live and condemn its people without getting hurt.

But at the same time the sweet talking, nice and inclusive approach minded people from north-east are always a welcome in Dilli. They project any incident happening with them as Taretting NORTH EAST. Can they deny no incident takes place with them in the own backyard? Can they deny they will never be looted or eve-teased or passed lewd remarks by their own natives in the north east. They have disgusting differences in the own particular state and divided into Jaatis and lower and upper castes leave aside the North East region and still they dare talk about a place like Dilli. They come here running for livelihood as there is militancy, there are blasts, there is looting, kidnapping, rapes, burning of houses and hunger. If in such a condition a place gives you peace and livelihood, should any civilized person critisise it? They lampoon themselves with what they do on roads and in public places while traveling by crowded buses, with their half naked bodies despite coming from rural and remotest parts of the country.


I just wanna ask such people in Dillli , why make such a hue and cry and generalize Dilli wallas or the place itself when similar incidents or worse inicidents can take place at any place including the native place? Why talk about Delhi only? Why not think before one speaks or decides to enter Dilli? Why not they leave Dilli? And, why not they should be thrown out of Dilli who have such a prejudiced and unwanted critical approach? Is it the decency of a guest?


Who doesn’t welcome a good guest and hate the bad guest?


Yes, the culture is different here but who will change, the place or the visitors?
