The divide on this issue is so large that it becomes impossible to bring sensibility to the discussion. Raj has merely used this issue to become more relevent on political scene. But what he misses is the fact that the Mumbai that he referes to is not merely a creation of the efforts of Maharastrians but one that was built up by every citizen of that city. Amitabh Bachaan may have be Bhayyia living on Mumbai and has benifited from the film industry that 'happens " to be based in Mumbai. But turn it upside down and you could say that Bachaan and the likes of him have contributed to keeping the viberant film industry a major contributor to Mumbai's economy. Has Mumbai benefited from Bachaan or has Bachaan benefited from Mumbai? The true answer would be both have. Yes one would be shortsighted to suggest that Maharastrians dont have a right to that City . But that right must not precude the right ofother Indians to benefit or contribute to that city. Let us hope saner sense prevails and the issue get a quicke burial that it deserves. The media that is attempting to blow that out of proportion must atleast this one time act with restraint so that the commercial capitial of this nation doesnot suffer! SP , Amar Singh are very highly irrespossible , negative thinking elements that must be kept irrelevent on this issue. The Congress and the NCP surprisingly are merely making noises , they must take a leadership to addressing the issue.
