Whatever big shots are hiding for their convenience. There is some reality in Raj Thackeray's opinion. Its only that he didn't express it intelligently. Typical Marathi Oops.
Migrants coming to Mumbai must provide 'Value Addition' to the city, not vice versa.
If they can't add value, city like Mumbai can't take them. Poor and illiterate people are enough in Maharashtra who can fill that gap. There is no need to import poor people from states which vowed never to develop.
The reality that people of other states are always providing for under developed states Bihar, UP, etc. is sickening. They have to do something for themselves. Not only politicians there, people from all other fields must do something for than being parasitic on other states.
The reality that a great percent of internal Maharashtra is extremely poor can't be chided away.
And the reality that people from these downgraded states are biggest role players in Indian politics is another fact to act against.
Further, being a Mumbaikar and visted southern states, all those having fun of southern states can eat their south dishes all over India and have fun of south. But you have to learn from those states - their combined GDP will be higher than that of same small developed countries.

Problem is Humanist must have lived in Mumbai for quite some time and he has seen Mumbaikars from all the stratas so it is evident that he has seen majority of marathi population not being able to speak English and other state languages so he assumes that Local marathis are not intelligent...
Just think of one thing that you go to any country or state you will find the same result with the local population...
If you go to Meghalaya or Kanyakumari and expect "kelewala" (Banana seller) to shout "Come on mann! would you like to buy some bananas...!" then it is your stupidity...
What is important to have the essence of the soil and that is to be maintained. This is what Mumbaikars are struggling for now...! you all must help us in that venture%u2026

Milind,
In this writeup I have supported Marathi cause.
No where I have mentioned talking English being 'intelligent'. The 'typical Marathi' is not indented to hurt, just for a lighter nerve.
And yes, you will have to agree to the fact that your leader/s didn't show required maturity in guiding your people though what he/they said required attention and action.
And no where I have found kelawala shouting 'Come on mann! would you like to buy some bananas...!" It seems your experience outside Maharashtra is extremely low and is through heresay... Which is again sounds....
Note, UP is told to have 1000s of Marathi mandals... In south big MNCs all have marathis working though you people will continue south bashing. In north, gurgaon, noida all have scores of marathis. No one crying foul probably since they are adding value to cities where they work.
Understand, the world is changing, to grow up as globalised citizen is also good for marathi people...
But for that one have be considerative and have to admit to one's weakness and find a solution, not being a cry baby at others.
I still can't understand what you have find offensive in my post.
And I still maintain something needs to be done about the core issue.

Wow!! humanist! You think in the same lines as i think. Iam glad to find people like you, it feels good. Iam staying in Dubai & i find that we Indians focus more on non relevant issues,which give no result ultimately. And as u said, we all are born 'cry babies' & that will never diminish. These same people will UNITE later when they start the HINDU-MUSLIM bashing. It is clear from the arguments that Technological Development doesnt mean SOCIAL development..We will remain backward forever.

You're absolutely right. Also, may I add - people staying in Maharashtra - both Marathi and non-Marathi - should follow the rules rather than breaking them - which is adding to the mayhem here.

Yes, Humanist, Out of 100 people who discuss here in this forum...90 people are having premature & primitive stone age brains, & so they still are fighting blah blah blah. Never do we get to see a person from one region praising the other. Such pathetic attitude by people who are educated enough to browse the NET!!!!!! Utter dismay!!!!!!!!!!!!
