THERE IS VERY LITTLE DIFFERENCE BEWEEN MARATHI AND HINDI..ANY NORTHINDIAN(REFERRING TO A UPITE AND BIHARI)CAN UNDERSTAND MARATHI AND VICEVRSA. THE HINDI FILM INDUSTRY HAS THRIVED HERE......WITH MANY MAHARASHTRIANS WORKING AS ESTABLISHED ACTORS ... THE LOCALS HAv NO PROBLEM WITH HINDI AS A LANGUAGE....UNLIKE MANY OTHER COUNTERPARTS IN INDIA... IT IS VERY UNFORTUNATE SOME RECENT EVENTS HAV BEEN LABELLED AS A "TIFF BETWEEN MARATHIS AND UP AND BIHARIWALLAHS" BUT U MUST REMEMBER THAT THIS ALL STARTED WITH A STREET BRAWL BETN MNS AND SP WORKERS.. I THINK THE MAIN PARTIES RESPONSIBLE 4 THIS R---- THE MEDIA SENSATION--HUNGRY VIEWERS STRESSED UP PPL WHO WANT SUM SOLACE IN THE CONTROVERSIES ABOUT THE RAILWAY EXAMS , WE WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY IF THE EXAMS R CONDUCTED IN FREE AND FAIR MANNER... BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT IS NOT THE CASE....BUT THERE IS RAMPANT CORRUPTION AND FAVORITISM.. FOR EG THE ADVERTISEMENTS ABOUT THE EXAMS WERE ONLY ISSUED IN BIHAR AND NOT ELSEWHERE IN THE COUNTRY !!!WE R AGAINST THIS.... AFTER THIS IF THE BIHARIS GET JOB THEY R MORE THAN WELCOME.. WE MAHARASHTRIANS R INNOVATORS... FOR EG KIRLOSKARS ,VITHAL KAMAT ( FIRST ECOTEL IN ASIA),... THE ONLY PROBLEM IS WE DONT SEEK FAME... WE R MORE BOTHERED ABOUT SPIRITUAL PROGRESS.... ABOUT MARATHIS WORKING ELSEWHERE,LOOK AT THEM THEY HAV TOTALLY BLENDED WID THE LOCALS THEYR NOTSTARTINGPARALLELCULTUE.
