UP/Bihar are becoming the proverbial millstones for India and are slowing India's progress.I won't say that Maharashtra is superb what with a deteriorating power crisis and farmer suicides.But here on this very message board,you get a naked demonstration of UP/Bihari northern India mentality who suffer from a misplaced superiority complex.Please refer msg posted by some Mr Mittal.Other Indians including Marathis would certainly loathe such abhorrent thinking where UP/Biharis believe that they own the country and have the right to rule the country just bcoz their mother tongue Hindi has been accorded the status of national language.Can u answer why outside of Maharashtra in Assam and Manipur,where Raj and Bal Thackeray are complete unknons,were UP/Bihari migrants attacked.The media is portraying that being anti-UP/Bihari and opposing their hegemonistic tendencies is being anti-Indian.This is contrary to reality and a wrong percepition is being set as a precedent
