Ambedkar was a prduct of Maharashtra's soil. His name commands respect in all parts, every nook and corner of India, unlike 'mahatma'. If Bangal was greater then why is there no son of Bangal so revered in India today? Wonderful maharashtra and Marathis are the real India, the real contributors to India's nationhood. Northies can't see beyond Hindi and some petty politics ( BIMARUs).., and southies hate northies and think they are 'unfortunate' to be in the same country as the northies. Marathis think beyond all this. Maharashtra will continue to produce leaders like Ambedkar and carry the flag of india.
