Coz, its much easier to identify with a smaller unit like the state

I grew up with lots of gratitude towards some pressure groups who were acting like safeguard towards some practices in the country…….. Shivsena was one of them (though I did not know about them as much as I do now)………… Unfortunately these days everybody is aware of the issues with and within the states BUT no body is discussing about the major thing which is working silently and finishing the country like a termite…………India has become an ORPHANAGE for all the neighboring countries and a major DUMP YARD for China, America and others……………. with no offence to anyone but tell me if I am wrong…….. If these countries can destroy the items (export by India) stating them as the bogus one (where these materials are from the largest brands of India) then why can’t we? why do we prefer to buy Chinese items, electronic lites??? .why can’t we celebrate our festivals with our own light & colors……..????????? why we are allowing other countries to play as an artist for us and on the other hand where they are using the same money to flourish the terrorism in our country…. it’s like we are feeding and inviting them to eat our own country one day????????……why can’t we throw them out rather getting involved fights for the states???????……….these guys are enough to break the country man…………… we don’t need any other issue to divide us in the name of water, corruption, bills, or anything like that…………

WHY CAN’T WE MAKE A COMMUNITY OF INDIANS rather making it in the name of states….. I salute to the ego of western countries where they can pull the chains anytime they want whether its for immigrants or for students…………. It shows that WE ARE A SOFT COUNTRY and anybody can mould us the way they want………… I am sorry if I have been rude or have offended to anyone but that’s me………I am an Indian and it hurts alottttttttttttt………….. Tell me if I am wrong I would love to improve…….

First, we are talking about the current situation where the facts are known to us because they have happened in our lifetime. I disagree with Thackerays on many issues and some of their tactics but I understand why he started discussion on this topic back in 1960s. The issue at the heart of the matter is; Marathis are clearly being discriminated in many fields but primarily in the job market in Mumbai for a long time. It is known that the people with financial power usually dominate everything and can easily discriminate against another group of people. Unfortunately,Marathis have failed to acquire that financial power. I will admit that Marathis have their share of faults in getting themselves in that position. But no one has a right to discriminate against a community, especially in their own state. That is what is happening in Mumbai for the last fifty years and it continues. Thackerays pressure tactics have helped Marathis somewhat at the cost of some dislike and anger in the other communities. In frank and open discussions with other non-Marathis who know Mumbai well,I have been told that the kind of job discrimination that happens in Mumbai against Marathis will never be tolerated in other states.

The last fifty or sixty years of migration of people to Mumbai shows that Marathis, in general, have treated non-Marathis with respect and that is why others have come and lived in Mumbai and have prospered too.

On the other points made above, if Marathis in Mumbai can learn Hindi and speak that with ease rather quickly, I fail to understand why non-Marathi politicians and celebrities, like Bachhans and so on, cannot learn at least some working Marathi after living in Mumbai almost all of their adulthood.

1.Have you ever read Indian History?
2.What is Chauth and Sardeshmukhi?
3.What were the Maratha hordes called in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu (esp. Tanjore, Ginji etc), Karnataka etc?
4.Can you name a place in the south, east and west which was not plagued by the armies of the maratha chieftains in the late 17th,18th and early 19th centuries?
5.Who was the maratha chieftain who in 18th century plundered the shringeri sharada temple and descrated the statue of the goddess?
6.Who was the maratha the maratha chieftain who burnt, pillaged and looted half of bengal, orissa in the early 18th century?
7.Who was the maratha chieftain who constantly attacked karnataka and looted, pillaged and murdered the hindu populace of mysore and adjoining regions?
8.To which region do most of the early landlords and their descendants (called DESHMUKHs) who were the chamchas of the erstwhile NIZAM and have plagued the people of Telangana for nearly 250-300 years belong to?

If you try to find answers for all these questions, then you would realize that it was the rest of INDIANs who have been plagued by the marathas and not vice-versa which led to the downfall of the hypocritical and megalomaniac empire of the peshwas aka the marathas. If so called kicking out of migrants is enforced, then nearly half of Goa, 1/7th of Telangana, 1/8th of Madhya Pradesh and many of the other states would have to come back to their native maharashtra and as per the arguements of some of the above “maharahstra for marathi” writers mumbai, other major cities of the state would become more populous, more dirty because of this influx. then what would the so called proponents do? would they follow hitler balasaheb, gobbels udhav and stalin raj and exterminate the so called influx?
