truth behind regionalism
by Dangerous on Mar 19, 2008 06:40 PM

It is human nature to suppress fellow human beings...Upper caste people kept torturing for many centuries nd when Indian constitution provided them resrevation suddenly everything took u turn...The people who use to polish the shoes of upper castes were now sharing tea with them...This took a long time for everyone to go down the throat... the migratnts from UP,Bihar r facing a similar situation...most of the migrants were poor nd were acceptable to thier Maharastrinas boss...but with the time these migrants started catchig up with their marathi counterparts...here the real race began ...they were now elected as MLAs nd MPs nd started to be a strong contender to Marathis..How can ny boss be comfortable to be at equal footings with thier slaves? Protest was natural...n number of reasons were floated to justify thier strife against these migrants like spoiling the culture,polluting the city,son of the soils theory etc etc ...may be some of these theory were justified but main reason was slave nd boss sharing tea on same table...it wil take human civilisation to get accustomed to these things...until then such regionalism would keep erupting nd making headines
