Guys, lets not forget that when we point a finger towards someone, remaining fingers are pointing towards us. This is my appeal to all the Indians. Lets stop this madness.
A small issue was blown out of proportion by the media and the politicians. Media go the TRP ratings and politicians were able to achieve what they wanted to, i.e. to polarize people.
North Indians blaming Maharashtrians, we maharashtrians blaming the north Indians. Then there were mini cyber wars between the south and north Indians. Where will this ends? Lets face it. We have problems in north, south, west and east. The solution is not blaming each other. That will only spread hatred. We have to work together. Mumbaikars have always shown the great Mumbai spirit. Where is it gone now? We cannot have this parochial mind set. I want to plead/beg for peace and brotherhood. Please do not respond to provocative statements, either by the politicians or the bloggers. There will be haters but the question is whether we want to be a part of the hatred.
I am a maharashtrian and I sincerely apologize to all my north Indian brothers. I am sorry for what has happened. Now can you forgive and forget.

Stay on in the USA man, and one cannot apologize to people who have run away from their home states in stead of trying to improve the conditions there, which have been deteriorating since historical times and now the states are ruled by scamsters and robbers. It is correct to say that there are problems everywhere, but who created these? The inept UP and Bihari politicians who have highjacked the entire country because of their high populations. That is how virtue is made out of illiteracy and lack of education. It is on this last count that Raj Tahckeray is wrong. Let Amitabh Bachchan open a school and college in every village in UP and Bihar, so that the people there will learn something and do somethign to improve their home states so that they will not have to travel all over the country and snatch the livelihood from the local poor. That is the point. There is nothing parochial about it, it is common sense.
