With due respect to Biharis and UPites, I have to sincerely state that the entire business is to instigate fight between Marathi and Hindi by power hungry politicians. While Raj Thackrey had no business to comment on Chat Pooja by Biharis, politicians from these states had a god sent opportunity to wash their hands in the controversy. Once again over the petty issue of migration, without understanding the basic problem has started and spewing poison on each other is not the solution. Influx from Bihar and UP has adversely affected the infrastructure of Mumbai as well as major cities of MS. Then again these people are not inclined to mix up with the locals and they want their culture to be imposed on us & their politicians are talking about the actions and the reactions.
While its true there are lacs of Marathis staying in northern India, fact is that Marathas there have mixed up with the culture of the respective states like sugar & milk. Shinde (Scindias), Holkars, Laxmibai, Bhonsales(in Thanjavor),Gaikwads in Vadodara are some examples. Even CM of Rajasthan, Vasundhara Raje is too Marathi. The first CM of UP, Mr. Pant was of Mahahashtrian origin.
The problem arises when the outsiders particularly from UP and Bihar are averse to mix up in MS (or any other state) culture and they want their language and culture to be imposed everywhere and thats the origin of the problem.
