Hello Everyone, I am hindi speaking North India who have been in Maharashtra for sometime. I think Marathi should be prmoted in Mahrashtra - no doubt. Bad elements are everywhere...criminals do NOT belong to any caste, language, etc. So, Mr. Raj Thackrey should not make general statements about all North India. For petty politics, he is dividing us Hindus. He is doig in one year what it will take Pakistan to do in 20 years! All the pro-Marathi agitations are fine, but why they have to pour venom against North-Indians. I agree that some N-Indians are bad, but for each N-Indian criminal in Maharashtra, there are many more maharashtrian criminals in Maharashtra. As i said earlier, the biggest curse for India is this vote-bank politics.
