I may agree with the Governor in generalising North and West for law-breaking. but, I will never agree or accept if someone says that Maharashtrians are not law abiding people...I am a mumbaikar for the past 30 years and I love and respect the maharashtraians for the co-operation, hospitality, affection and the law abiding nature. If Maharashtra falls in the West (particularly Mumbai), it is the people who migrated from other states have created most of the problems (and ofcourse some ignited by Shiv Sena in the past) and todays's pathetic situation of my lovely Mumbai is the result of uncontrolled influx from other states, North in particular.

I would say further ... The maharashtrians are most law abiding people.
It is all because of Sanskars which one get at early age.
And Remeber , because of this virtue , Maharashtrians are "backward" then others in Politics and Bussiness.

Stop your regional based rhetorics!!! When the author is talking of west of india it includes Maharashtra too (specifically Mumbai). Accept the fact that our people in North and West voilate law easily and take the rules for granted. Ofcourse, that doesn't mean South India is so clean. Even here, there are law breakers. Only thing is, its relatively less in number. Come out of the regional based thinking and think yourself as an Indian first!!!
