I think there is only North india and South india but not "NORTH INDIAN" OR "SOUTH INDIAN". north and south should be used only for geographical purposes and not to identify an individual, this thinking should be aired by the media and the habit should be inculcated into every one from his/her childhood. Govt should take very strict action against anyone who tries to divide the country by highlighting the region factor.

This is partly driven by corrupt politicians and also the secularization of the intelligensia which is completely out of touch with the rustic population of Mah.
Now this initial issue was stroked by the SP advocates who wanted Bhojpuri as an official language in the BMC. MNS (raj) picked up on this and made his comments to get brownie points over SS (his cousin). SP then made a big deal about this to rally the UP population in Mah to gain some votes. The Elite english media (delhi controlled north indian media) took up on this and started bashing raj. Raj suddenly became popular and struck a chord in the maharashtrians scaring shiv sena. Congress then took this opportuni
