well i am a maharashtrian and sometimes feel that the media is not truely talking on one important aspect. there has been a high immigration rate (in numbers too) to maharashtra than any other state in the country. in such a scenario what a marathi manoss like me want is security. has any media talked about the social and economic results of the north indian inflow in maharashtra. has anyone seen the fact that by percentage of their numbers he gundas in maharashtras jails are north indians. well there has to be some control. well to many people this may sound extremist but today what we marathi people need is a real leader who cares for us. and media they are biased because they are controlled majorly by north indians and so they didnt even raise the issue of maharashtrians loosing jobs to outsiders. instead the media thinks marathi manoos as just a vote bank and nothing more.

Why do you think it is an area of concern for marathi manoss? The world over and also in many parts of India,the so-called outsiders(call them immigrants if u wish) have left a feeling of being robbed in the locals. Do you feel that the problems of Bangalore are any different or those of Delhi any better? Or look at the natural resources; your richest states in natural resources are the poorest! Orissa,Chattisgarh and Jharkhand? The problem with our system is that we resort to violence,petty communal politics and creation of hatred to highlight our genuine problems which are never addressed in a systematic way. In today's world and India, the strengths of each region should be utilised for the betterment of the local people. If I suggest a national databese on migrant rights and responsibilities and an effective system to enforce,all hell will break loose! The same politicians will again resort to viloence to highlight how they should be left free to pursue their agenda for grabbing power.
