Its sad that indians have to choose their leaders from the likes of raj or bal thakres or mayavati....it is one thing to make speeches for the people of ones soil but but another to wait and watch its consequences ....it has got very little to do with intelligence ....if maharashtra did not happen to have the immense contribution of the so called non-marathi people would maharashtra been as coveted a state as its today ....why dont these politicians simply be thankful to all the non-marathi Indians with whose efforts maharastra has come to this level....moreover we must not forget that if any nation or a state has to progress then it should rise above petty politics and accept all its people irrespective of caste ,creed , religion, region etc. ....the only criteria for admissions in professional institution or jobs should be just MERIT , and nothing else... therefore 80% quota in private sector can only be a foolish man's brainchild , a man whose interest lies not in people's progress but making his own future .....it is this mentality that has been the reason of denying opportunities to the thousands of well deserving young men and women of our country who then try to look across the border for brighter future and those who cant afford either accept their fate or just end their lives ...... then are we taking a step into the new horizons with this separatist mentality....looking up to these low and mean politicians to decide our fate .....
