India is a great country. We all Indians truly love the unity in diversity of the country. Each and every member of the country should be allowed to move freely anywhere in the country including J & K. The states were created on the basis of Languages. Maharashtra is one of the most cosmopolitan state in India. The %u201CMaha%u201D in %u201CMaharshtra%u201D stands for good social leaders / teachers / preachers like Chhatrapati Shivaji, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Sant Dnyaneshwar, Maharshi Karve, Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, Yashwantrao Chawan, etc. to a name few. Maharashtra is created and developed under the able guidance and leadership of all these people. Any Marathi person is very proud to have such prominent leaders. Marathi people are taught to respect other language, culture and religion. Hence, this region has accepted Hindi & its culture long time back.

don't know abt Bihar but regarding UP and Uttaranhal I can tell you these two states are totally different be it socialy, culturally or economically..infact to tell you current state of UP is also very heterogeneous...western UP and eastern UP are totally different...western UP is a very rich area where farmers enjoy high sandards of life due to advances in agriculture, industry in Gaziabad, Noida etc...infact western UP farmers along with Punjab and Haryana farmers are the only ones in entire India who are living good standards of life unlike other areas where suicides among farmers is now a common occurrence...problem of migration is a big problem....breaking of UP in aleast 2 parts can be a solution as eastern UP really needs special attention from both central and state govt...just see SP govt installed SEZ,power plant etc in western UP rather than easern UP...its totally unjustified as its eastern UP which needs more investment while western UP is already highly developed...if UP is bifurvated then it will benefit both parts...western UP will be among top states without doubt while eastern UP will be able to receive more attention from state govt....
