true. This state has been asset of india from the begining and has contributed in all forms be it the nautral resources , hard working people,culture,.... The people from this state have not progressed since all industrial development had been concetrated in mostly western maharshtra and some in south gujarat for last 5 to 6 decades. Bihar was much ahead than maharashtra as a state during indenpendence but due to the neglect and centralisation of development in other states it has lagged behind . Its time backward states like Bihar,UP, Jharkhand,Orissa,... get back their contribution to the country in some way else such incidences will increase since they will have to move to other states for their livelihood
