i dont where u got that statistics from..... but let me tell u the major difference betn the maraathis leaving outside maharashtra and biharis leaving in mumbai(i hate 2 categorise ppl but cant help it in this case)-- marathis have blended with the locals . they speak their language.. they have served the locals...they hav added to the pool of resources. they hav given more than they hav taken...they hav been law abidding....... no one is oppsing the taxpaying northindians who hav settled in mumbai... but v definitely resent---- the migrants who make lakhs here and go back to their states without paying taxes which they owe to the city we definitely resent those taxidrivers who charge exorbitantly much above the fare ( believe me this is very rampant) v resent those migrants who occupy the open spaces and build their slums there... v resent those who dont think that this karmabhoomi is to be kept beautiful and not just exploited if u use the resources then u hav to pay in kind... locals dont hav a choice .. migrants do....they come here .....make our lives miserable and go back we dont expect anybuddy to feed us all life...but atleast obey the law of land and respect the locals. dont the locals deserve atleast this much ?
