Why can't a Maharastrian or a Mumbaite also claim and live in Patna, Allahabad, Kolkata or Chennai with the same pride as a Patnaite, UPaite, etc.? They are also as much a part as any other Indian is. It's really shameful and degrading not to feel a part nor allow someone else feel a part of India. I'm sorry the days for such statements are numbered and speaking to create a divide is utterly despicable.
