It pitty the narrow thinking of you people. Look at Europe, people from different country are coming together to have a great economy, but here in India we want to divide ourselves. Neither maharashtra is great without the labour force (both white and blue collar)of north india nor the labours of north india (specially the blue collar). If we gel together only then our country will flourish. And let me tell you I am not a marathi hater. Don't have seige mentality. Instead of asking why Bihar or UP is backward? Comeup with solutions as to what can be done to bring them forward.... Think India not Maharashtra!!
