Yes everyone seems in denial. You know the stages of grief... first is denial, last is acceptance.
My problem is not with the Bihar/UP people and the fact they are in denial. They and their leaders at this point seem beyond redemption.
It is the rest of India that has ganged up on Maharashtra that is especially irritating. It is rank envy of Maharashtra - they would like to see the state at least stumble from the fact that it is the best state in India.
