well what u say is empirically correct.. hindi tyranny has been imposed on india by these sates and they hv brought down standards in all institutions they hv set their eyes on.. trains passing thru UP / Bihar are nightmares for decent passengers travelling with valid reservations.. but friend these same people are hardworking and diligent when outside their states.. they work hard uncomplainingly at jobs where the comfort loving locals are no no! and btw.. how abt maharashtra? havent criminal organisations like th shiv sena and MNS thrived there? how abt bengal which has romanticised political killings under the lofty label of marxism? how abt kannadiga chauvinism and tamil blindness about filmstars-politicians? aint it the same all over?
