To all Maharashtrians.. Q. Are Biharis forcing you to learn Hindi and forget Marathi?? NO! Q Are Bihari and UP migrants interfering with your cultural festivals and celebrations? NO! Q. Are poor Bihari labourers stealing your daughters and getting married to them? NO! They are just poor people, who are doing their job. Wherever those poor guys get a chance to have a daily meal, be it in Kolkata, Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai, they will flock there. Indian Constitution gaurantees them their right. Why do you look at them as uncouth, dirty pests? They are also human beings, and they are not trying to destroy your culture or ethos. THEY JUST WANT THEIR "DO WAQT KI ROTI". Why are you guys so filled with hate?????

Then why don't you raise your voice against Raj Thackeray and others who support this violence? I agree, there are many Marathis like you who are sane and sensible, but don't remain quiet.

I understand they are poor and jobless, but then the rest of the india should also bear the burden. South indians don't allow north indians to live peacefully, bengalis don't allow migration, assam people kill migrants, modi protects 'gujrat asmita' in gujrat..to kya marathi logon ne UP-Bihar ka theka leke rakha hain?

Just for you information, Kolkata has far more Bihari migrants compared to Mumbai, working peacefully. All coolies in Howrah station, most taxi drivers and private truck drivers are Biharis. And Bengalis are not threatened or disgusted by them. They co-exist quite peacefully.

I have heard of a lot of anti-bihari agitations in west bengal. The news was all over media..lalu yadav was involved in the whole debate. Biharis had threatened to kill bengalis living in bihar. and don't forget that bengalis celebrated india's loss in ODI when ganguly was thrown out of the team. They always put their state above the country.

Sorry, I am not so narrow minded. Luckily, I have been brought up in a cosmopolitan environment in many cities, and hence I try to appreciate all cultures. I don't stay in West Bengal, I go there occasionally. I support a strong INDIA. What I am against is mob-violence, racism and xeno-phobic politics which can tear the country apart if unchecked. Hope I got my message through.
