Marathis are being deplored,hated n discriminated by Indians anyway.They covet Maharashtra and I have seen several netizens here who support kicking Marathis out of Maharashtra,their home state and even India.With so much love for the Marathi manoos even when Raj did not open this issue,Marathis staying in India for long is unlikely.A separate country called Maharashtra for the Marathi manoos independent of India seems a definite proposition
