It is true that cities are supposed to be cosmopolitan and mumbai by all means has been a cosmo place since ages. It has been so due to the Marathi culture which is very accomodating friendly and down to earth. A common maharastrian man is truly a depiction of RK Laksmans common man and is law abiding and likes to live in peace. I have travelled throughout India and there are very few places in India where local people are so accomodating and down to earth in there own dens . Attitude of a common maharastrian is way too good to be true. But over the years the influx of people from outside the state has become so high that the infrastructure is unable to cope with the same. Law and order is becoming worse in Mumbai . I used to be proud of the fact that a girl could walk the streets of Mumbai at night and still be safe . Now I am ashamed of the fact that on on a crowded street on new years girls are molested out in the middle and i am not blaming the north, south or east indians for that what i am saying is that the infrastructure is unable to cope . we want a cleaner Mumbai since a long time but how can we get a cleaner Mumbai when thousands of people are coming in to build more slums everyday. And these are the same people who get estableshed in the city and then blame the people of the city and state for being dirty. Its high time the influx of people is stopped and we make Mumbai the beautiful place it deserves to be. I agree that Violence is never the way to do things but
