i dont where u got that statistics from..... but let me tell u the major difference betn the maraathis leaving outside maharashtra and biharis leaving in mumbai(i hate 2 categorise ppl but cant help it in this case)-- marathis have blended with the locals . they speak their language.. they have served the locals...they hav added to the pool of resources. they hav given more than they hav taken...they hav been law abidding....... no one is oppsing the taxpaying northindians who hav settled in mumbai... but v definitely resent---- the migrants who make lakhs here and go back to their states without paying taxes which they owe to the city we definitely resent those taxidrivers who charge exorbitantly much above the fare ( believe me this is very rampant) v resent those migrants who occupy the open spaces and build their slums there... v resent those who dont think that this karmabhoomi is to be kept beautiful and not just exploited if u use the resources then u hav to pay in kind... locals dont hav a choice .. migrants do....they come here .....make our lives miserable and go back we dont expect anybuddy to feed us all life...but atleast obey the law of land and respect the locals. dont the locals deserve atleast this much ?

the whole point of the scrap was--- (1)locals should get preference everywhere be it in maha. , bihar ,up or america.. (2)i dont condone the violence of mns... it does not even represent the views of 1 % marathis... so why target all maharashtrians ?deal with mns one to one...( some ppl had called marathis by derogatory names so i had 2 respond) (3) also migration to mumbai has to stop as the city resources r very much strained and the city can take no more.... i hope u agree wid me on these very fundamental issues.........

Migrate to Mumbai only if you stay their legally. What I mean legally is not to saty on footpath or slum but in apartment, MHADA house or bunglow own or rent as you afford. Pay taxes from you salary as per tax law. Also demand minimum pay as per law. Only work 50/60 hrs. I saw 10 migrated labour stay in 10x10 room without ameneties. Get less salary than local in same job. No health support from employer. Locals don't want to work like this & demand fair treatment from employer so employers don't want locals into their jobs. This what happening in mumbai. Those who think Raj is wrong are actully helping thses employers to exploit migrated workers. Don't sopport Raj that is fine but also don't think that Marathis are lazy that's why they are out of job.

Dragon, No denying the fact you're saying. You're absolutely right on. It's a God's gift that you've got a good leader. All the best wishes.
