To Rohit KANWAR..my friend i am not a Maharastrian but I can tell you that this state is definitely not a parasite or cancer or tumor on the contrary it was one of the first states to get industrialised and modern ...read your history books ..you will know sir.Also not being a maharashtrian has helped me look at the state's culture and manners from a non maharahtrian's point of view and take my word that all Marathi speaking people are more tolerant to others than any other language group. I have seen that while I have travelled to other parts of the country.In the South people are friendly and hospitable but will speak less to you unless you speak to them in their own language...a of them do not entertain you if you speak hindi..all their communication, sign boards etc are only in their language.when i went north i felt uneasy with the kind of indecent stares my sister and mom would get...this never happens in maharashtra.We have been living with the marathi speaking people of the state for over half a century and believe me I have been most comfortable here in maharshtra more than any other State.And althouh there have been divisive debates by Marathi leaders but the common Marathi manoos is a gentleman at heart.So please do not make such comments unless you do not know the facts.
