i am wondering from last few days about the news that mumbai should be made city state. i am not going to draw any conlusions. i am from bangalore if someone says bangalore be made city state, my answer will be obvious "no". will chennai be made or gurgaon and noida be merged in delhi. are they going to solve these problems? it is possible that it may increase just like india and pakistan or bangladesh face today. i have made survey about the maharashtra as it aroused interest in me. Maharashtra with pop. 9.6 cr speaking marathi lang. GDP: 15% of india. major cities: Mumbai, pune and nagpur. Mumbai, capital of Maharashtra and Financial capital (Avoid it) of india. because in central government's context it is Delhi(Politial and financial). Mumbai-Delhi 58000Cr Delhi-Mumbai 100cr I have taken broad view by considering maharashtra state, maharashtra gets 5% from centre as per Twelfth finance commission, on other side it contributes 30% to exchequer, might be more. A population of 10% gets 5% even if it contributes 30% As per one article remaining money get lost in black holes (correcr word) of Uttar pradesh and Bihar, why so. maharashtra is united, why try to break it.
