That's said like a true Maratha, Attatar. No one has a right to snatch someone else's hearth and home. One disagrees with Raj's way of doing things, but one cannot disagree withe sentiment. Pt. Nehru said once that he thought Maharashtrians are docile people, he would have been surprised and outraged at the rise of Shiv Sena. The root lies in the fact that we Maharashtrians have been given a less than a good deal by successive government at the centre. They are completely ignoring the sentiments of Maharashtrians and would like to forget about these troublesome poeple. They wanted us to live in a bilingual state and unleashed machinery of repression that took 105 lives. Maharashtrian Cogress leaders should show more spine that they have shown in this imbroglio and tell the old fogies in the center like Pranb and Arjun that unless something is done for stemming this flow of Upiand and Biharis into our state, they cannot count on Maharashtra to vote for their party. Vilasroa, RR and Patnagrao, how long are you going to be beholden to those non-Maharashtrian bosses. These guys are acting like the Vatandars in pre-Chhatrapati Shivaji's times, bowing before the badshahs, nawabs and sultans in Delhi to save their gaddis. Come on, if you are true Marathas, tell Mulayam and Lalu not to stir up trouble here and set their home states in order so that their populations will stay at home.
