Who is to blame? Firstly - The Shiv Sena in and of itself - remains primarily a 'terrorist' organization. If by 'terrorist' is meant - someone who spreads terror by the use of force - then Shiv Sena and the Bharatiya Kamgar Sena (BKS) epitomize terrorism. They commit crimes such as these in the name of their pathetic idealogy.

However - equally guilty in this particular case are the Jet Airways employees who - back in October of 2008 - went running to these criminals begging for help. These 'educated' Jet airways employees failed to realize that their real enemy was not their employer - but was - and has always been - rogue organizations that resort to muscle power for getting their way.

It is because of organizations such as the Shiv Sena that businesses cannot function normally as they do in other countries. Along with our economic liberalization and opening up the business climate in India, what India needs is controlling groups such as the Shiv Sena, who act as nothing but barriers to business.

These obstacles placed in the way of hard working employers leads to larger unemployment - since a business cannot resort to its normal practices of hiring and firing based on employee performance. This is something so basic that it is a shock that employees of Jet airways - in spite of their education - are unable to see it. They went running to criminals for help - the criminals helped them (and ended up looking like heroes) - and those disgruntled Jet employees helped create yet another stronghold for criminals. It is a bit like asking the person who just shot you to take you to the hospital.

End result - the Jet employees set some sort of morbid precedent for having other laid-off workers seek help from the Shiv Sena. This led the employees of the Grand Intercontinental to seek the same kind of liaison with the BKS (Bhartiya Kamgar Sena, another militant group within Shiv Sena).

Terror comes from both outside (as witnessed in the Taj/Oberoi attacks) - as well as the homegrown variety - in the form of Shiv Sena. It is sad to see some disgruntled employees resort to seeking the help of terrorists to get their jobs back!
