Mumbai progressed to become the financial capital of India mainly due to the MIGRANTS from all over InDIAN states. There are many PARSI's Gujaratis' Sindhis, Punjabis who migrated during partition and settled down in MUMBAI with family and contributed to the Mumbai progress.
But the city have a limit to absorb. it is now bulging with population. Had anybody criticising mumbai ever seen the MUMBAI CENTRAL, CST stations when a Train from other states land. its a huge number of people pouring into mumbai from differnt parts of country looking for jobs due to lack for opportunities in their states.
It already absorbed Five times more than the population it can accomodate.
need to control this situation, else the increase in more population in mumbai will result many not getting livelihood, and end up in the hands of unwanted anti social elements.

Hey GN,,,,Do you have a selective memory? So what did Marathis do in this city of ours GN? Let me ask you this,,,Which industries were their when these communities came to Mumbai? As far as I know Parsis were called the Indian whites by Britishers,,,who use to do "hamali" for Britishers, who use to be spys for Britishers so that Britishers can apprehend freedom fighters of that time. Sindhis built illegal towns namely Ambernath and Ulhasnagar to carry own illegal trades, till today they do it. Gujarati were baniyas and grocers,,and when Britishers left Gujratis manipulated to get hold on British cotton Mills of Mumbai,,which were built, run and operated by Marathis. What industry Punjabis built? Name one big company.So name the companies which were built by these communities? If you don't know Mumbai then shut up,,,and if you know Mumbai then speak the truth. Varsha the outsider is going up and down,,,One more thing don't try to insult Marathis.

Well thought and written comment. We need this kind of writting not like many who have talked rubbish earlier.
Mumbai had been having a better culture of respecting females and the safest city compared to any other city in India for Females.
But recent incidents are displaying the trend changing and no wonder in short time our beloved mumbai will be like many other cities, where females will have to reach home before even 6 pm in the evening.
The evil elements were there earlier too, but they were busy in the wilderness of dance bars etc. Now with the closure of Dance bars, these evil minded elements in the society started coming into the Family Areas for hunting
Adding on to what Aspee DESai mentioned below;
Majority of migrants to mumbai when unable to find suitable livelihood, end up in the hands of anti social elements, the underworld drug mafia or ISI agents.

Hey GN,,,why are you stuck on same record,,,Is your brain fried,,,can't say or write something different. Gay Amit Dhama,,is sucking you big time,,,Invite him...Sarson ka tel laga ye go woh,,,dimwit
I guess these crimes with ladies are nothing new in mumbai ... They exist since ages ... They were not reported to police previously coz it was then Legally permitted (Dance bars n beer bars) ... Really rich culture of mumbaikars / marathis ... Now that the bars are closing down slowly, these kind of incidents are coming out to light very often and believe me mumbai has overtaken even DELHI in terms of crimes against ladies ... Wake up mumbai n Thakre family ... do sumthing about it ...

If you are a migrant leave. We will improve the situation. Your talk about dance bar and all that is crap. People have to learn to behave. There can be no justification for the action of those involved in this misbehaviour.

Do you know, these dance bars become necessity not for the mumbaikars or marathis as you mentioned. It is a necessity to keep away the huge number of people pouring in from other states away from our families.
You are talking like one of my friend from South India, boasting the cleanliness in Goa and South India comparing to Mumbai. The poor chap have to be made undersand that, All unwanted peoples from all these states are dumped into Mumbai and it is the result of that. if Mumbai had stopped entertaining people entering and surviving in mumbai like other states did, Mumbai must had been more cleaner than even GOA!!

luks some frustu southie wrote this....dude we northies respect very much in whtever culture we are living in. but as hindi is the national language, its the only language which can help to communicate between people who communicate in different languages.
You must have never been here! Mumbai as it stands today is a living hell !!! Courtesy migrants from UP/Bihar, Tamil rurals, illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, Nepal and possibly the Pakis. Public transport has utterly failed due to migrant people that have swarmed this city. Believe it or not, the migrants have indeed made this place hard to breath.
I was born and bought up in Mumbai, but am moving to Gujarat, never to return. I feel very sad.. but am helpless like several millions that live in this city.
Solution: 1. Opportunities to be made available localy through development in the rural villages from UP, Bihar and TN. 2. Tighten security procedures and keep check on illegal immigrants from B'desh, Nepal and Pakis.
It may appear to those that are not living in Mumbai as a prosperous commercial center. But try to visit and see its pathetic state and experience the noise, lead and sulphur embracing your lungs and be soaked in the public sweat while you use public transport.
As Mumbai stands today, even God may fail to find a solution to all this...Let alone some concerned individuals who care and raise voice for improving mumbai!!!!

Aspee,,,you can't give up like that,,this is our city,,,Our forefather,fathers,families lived here,,,My city is being used as a dumping ground for all kinds of criminals from all over India and our connection to this state and this city being questioned by the illiterates and the criminals of other states. This city being humiliated, neglected only for one reason and one reason only because it is a Marathi city. And this is done because of center's attitude towards this City. Well time has come to ractify once and for all. Trust me we Marathis will reclaim this city.

No government can do this becasue they are helpless against great North indin exodus. One day this city will certainly die due to over population and all paracites will return to their native place making hell out Mumbai.
