Writer have well exposed a weak point in our country...
Anyway, one needs to look at reality also.
The states like Maharashtra and all southern states tolerated for decades industrialisation and openness compared to North India.
It is a fact well known in southern India and Maharashtra that the tax and monies paid to Govt. of India is uselessly spend on North India but not is west or south where people work hard and lead a better life.
This notion is very prevalent in states like Kerala where millions travel all over India and world for work and earn not only their living but pours foreign currency to the country. They consider their opinions are never heard in country capital since they have very less number of MPs and are low vote banks.
Lower performing North Indian gets much from Govt. and lot of problems in India for which country is spending money in from North only. Now terrorism is also being exported to peaceful states like Maharashtra and south where people till date lived peacefully.
So, anger is obvious.
Now, for Maharashtrains, they also have to check their attitude. Bombay /Mumbai is in Maharashtra for decades. Till date, even with all regional and community strong parties, why didn't we evolve economically better than others who came and stayed /went back ? One needs to think on that aspect more deeper.
