Unfortunately, the reason why your "homestates" do not prosper, is because none of you can keep the dialog to a civilized level.
Look at the language you are using!
Remember one thing: It is Maharashtrians who created conducive conditions for all migrants to come & contribute to this state.
Otherwise, who had stopped Bihar & UP from creating such an atmosphere? Who wants to go to those states? Even your own people don't want to stay there! Its shameful, but somehow, all of you have your heads stuck in the sand.
Maharashtra has prospered way beyond Mumbai - some of the smaller towns of Maharashtra are more prosperous than multiple districts put together of Bihar & UP (example: Jalgaon, Kolhapur, Nasik and Nagpur). Lets not even talk about Western Maharashtra - Pune included which is light years ahead of your impoverished states.
Sure there are problems like farmer suicides and no one is proud of them. We certainly have to solve these problems. But farmer suicides in Maharashtra make headlines because it is Maharashtra where no one expects such things; daily killings & deaths in UP & Bihar don't even make headlines anymore. This is tragic.
Why don't you educated folks go and try to make a difference in your home states?
