QUESTION - DOES MUMBAI BELONG TO MARATHIS OR ALL INDIANS?
by MGR Fan on Feb 07, 2008 04:56 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Mumbai is in Maharashtra but this great city is built by people of all states of India.

Just like Delhi - the city is dominated by Punjabis but Delhi is capital of india and belongs to whole of India.

Mumbai and Delhi are for whole of India. It was built by Indians from all cities.

True, every Indian has a right to live in Mumbai, but when people of a particular community are found to be involved in crime more than people of other communities, they lose their right to be free, rather, they earn the right to be in jail.

This applies to Bangalore as well.

A city can be said to belong to one state only if its economy is mostly/wholly developed by the people of same state.

Marathis alone dint build Mumbai so, Mumbai is truly an All India city.

If Gujjus, Marwaris, Parsees and Biharis and Kannadigas go out of Mumbai, Mumbai would be reduced to a BIG ZERO.

Chennai economy is mostly dominated by and developed by Tamils . Of course other south Indians also developed Chennai. Bit like Pune. Pune is not an all india city, it is a Marathi city. Chennai is a All South Indian City.

New york also belongs to all Indians because lot of Marathis, Patels, bengalis & Punjabis staying there. We should ask Bush regarding that.

Yes, but NY was not built by them. Mumbai was built by Parsees, Gujaratis, Marwaris, Kannadigas and without their contribution, Mumbai would be nothing, nothing, nothing.
