The hatred is no way against the Hindi speaking people. Then, what%u2019s wrong? The wrong is Hindi speaking people never accepted the Marathi language and its culture. They (Hindi) say that Maharashtra is a very racist state. They why UP has broken in two (UP & Uttaranchal) and also Bihar (Bihar & Jharkhand) though the same language was being spoken and same culture was followed? It was because these developed parts of the states (now Uttaranchal & Jharkhand) were not able to bear the burden of the non developed part of the states. I guess the same is now happening with Maharashtra.
However, one should not mean a fight between Bihar & Jharkhand or UP & Uttaranchal or UP & Maharashtra would lead to division of the nation. One who takes this as a meaning, means he is a very narrow minded person. There are fights in a family. Does it mean division of that family? Certainly Not!!

I don't agree with you as far as Mumbai is concerned. You may be right in saying about UP and Bihar getting devided in to two states. But as far as Mumbai's growth is concerned, there is very very little that the locals/maharashtrains/marathoo manoos contributed. 99% contribution of Mumbai's growth is from imigrants and more than 50% of unskilled labour from UP and Bihar. they are also responsible for Mumbai growth...let us not forget the truth.
this is only a vote bank politics, which is not going to help anybody.
