RE:This is getting ugly and we are going nowhere
by rohit on Feb 22, 2008 11:15 PM

I am a non-Maharashtrian i.e.do not live in Maharashtra. I think Marathis are great people with great traditions and culture and have contributed a lot to the making of India. The real problem being faced by them are that they are not getting economic benefits from the development of Maharashtra. This is a genuine problem but it cannot be solved by creating hatred and lawlessness. This will destroy the prosperity of Maharashtra and they will then get nothing. They should seek and ways and means to participate more in the economic activity. I don't think Marathis want to drive taxis and work as labourers since they are perceived to be more advanced than the poor labourers from elsewhere. What is the point of driving these people out when they are contributing to the economy and doing jobs which no one else wants?
