Boss, ya to jai hind mein vishwas karo, ya jai maharashtra mein. you cant have it both ways. These are simple politically manipulated statements meant to instigate the incapable of commonsensical thought public. Remember India will probably survive without Maharashtra and Maharashtrians...but the other way round - impossible.
Havng said that I am a hard core Maharastrian. But I am an Indian first... .. and not Marathi speaking or Hindi speaking or whatever. I have been lucky enough to be blessed with parents who could offer me decent education which has enabled me to think on my own. and As a citizen of a nation such as ours, I really it is upto educated people to expend energies towards our nation's progress, rather than keep wallowing in localised and politicized muck.
