I am not from Bihar or Maharashtra but in the name of national integration this is the time to remember their contributions.
Bihar may be in a bad position now but it is the birthplace of greatness. Whether as the land of great ancient universities or of Bodhgaya or of the great Rajendra Prasad, Bihar has been a well-spring of culture that India should be proud of. I personally think Biharis are extremely intelligent people who have been ruined by their politicians.
Maharashtra has a great tradition of knowledge, culture, and liberalism too. Who in India doesnt love and respect Shivaji or Namdev or Tilak and many other icons. Maharashtra was one of the protectors of Hinduism and Indian nationalism.
Let us not forget all this in a moment's anger or due to the excesses of a wily politician.
