Think India as a big family with proper division of labor...Mumbai (not whole maharashtra) is the financial capital...UP/Punjab/WB/orissa/HP/Haryana are food providers (if they stop providing wheat/rice, people in other states will starve), Again Punjab/Bihar/Haryana/HP/Rajasthan contributes majorly in defense personnels (if they backout, who will protect the country).... Also, most of the wealth coming into Mumbai (not whole maharshtra) is through Gujrati and Sindhi businessmen (so if they go back to their respective places, what money will remain in mumbai?), Our seven-sister states provide lots heritage/natural resources (they are our front-liners against invasive east), Out south Indian states are the religious,cultural nd technical hubs . BUT are any of these individual states have ANY ENTITY without each other??? the answer is NO. Will any building survive if any on pillar is broken ? If Maharashtra backs-out of Indian republic, we will definitely loose lot of rich culture and heritage (which will be unfortunate)...but ask these businessmen of mahrashtra, who they are with - India or Maharashtra (will they have any international standing if they loose Gate-pass that INDIA provides?)...So one should not live in any false pride...we are what we are bcause we are together...otherwise we are nothing...Nobody should disrespect any culture (in or outside the state) and must learn the importance of each other. Each culture is grand enough not to be affected by few people.
