Maharastra is a state of racist Marathis, who took away everything from the rest of India: Reserve Bank of India, State Bank, General Insurance, LIC, every other banks and financial institutions, Air-India, almost all public sector industries by racist politicians like Deshmukh, YB Chavan, SK Patil, Morarji Desai( a Gujarati), etc etc. They are all Racist Marathis. Yes, Shivaji was not a Marathi at all: he was a Rajput. Marathi Brahmins refused to recognize him. After his death, his army was infiltrated by the Marathis, who has turned it into a gang of rapists, murderers, looters and became a stooge for the Mughal Empire. Shivaji could not be associated with this band of Borgis, who are nothing but the forefathers of criminals like Bal Thakre, Raj Thakre, Pramod Mahajan, Sharad Pawar, Prativa Patil, and so on --- this is the Hall of Fame for the Marathis.
