Good analytical article. Much better than mischivous, provocative reporting by Hindi channels like aaj tak and zee news - who definitely had an agenda in reporting that north indians are being beaten up in mumbai. How could a national news channel like aaj tak lie in broad daylight when they flashed the text - Mumbai on fire - when as a mumbaikar my day was very very normal like most others. Felt bad for my marathi friends because of this bad reporting - I was born in Trichy, studied in 5 different cities (since my father was a civil servent) did my engineering from Pune and now working in Mumbai for last 3 years - throuhout these 10-12 years of my life in maharashtra I found maharshtrians to be very friendly and peace loving. FEELING BAD FOR THEM AS I KNOW WHO IS DOING REAL DADAGIRI IN MUMBAI, who is a real threat to the law, who FEEL PROUD TO BREAK THE LAW. Time for my friends from UP and Bihar to introspect, to look for answers to questions like - why their states are at the bottom of development - social & economic, why they had to migrate (which is okay and legal), how can they go back and help others in their state. I am with all the law abiding mumbaikars on this issue. Jai Hind, Jai Maharashtra. Vishy

People please don't pay any attention to the messages of this guy. Rediff please ban him with immediate effect. He has been trying to spread hatred on message boards for 2 days now. No Indian can write what he is writing. He has to be from a neighbouring country.

People like Atharva Banerjee are like a cancer to the society. He can not be an Indian...Probably using a false name. The obvious reason being that he seems to be a bengali and he himself is protesting against Mumbai migration. Only a person who doesn't know that Banerjees come from Bengal will do that. Hence he is a neighbour, who in a haste chose a bengali name to post on the message boards. Only to find out later that Indians are not stupid !! He is not from India and you all know now where he comes from!!

Quoting Hirannaiah (senior) "It was Bharath matha ki Jai, Bharath matha ki Jai until we got independence. The day it happened the slogan changed to 'haath ki Jai' 'paavn ki Jai' -Unquote
We Indian were never united- never ever in the last thousands of years! If at all there was a semblance of unity it was during the British Regime - the kind of unity you might find among the jail-birds. The moment the succeed in breaking jail, each to himself and God for all!

Not only Raj..all the politicians in INDIA are corrupt and anti-social elements. Onus lies with us the PEOPLE of INDIA to come forward and reject them!
I know this will never happen as even literate people are supporting them!
