If Raj Thackeray's brand of xenophobic racism becomes the norm of Indian politics, then India is doomed. Pakistan and China can sit back comfortably and enjoy the great Indian 'tamasha', adding some ghee and spice like Raj Thackeray's in between. Indians will fight each other, self destruct and split into tiny little countries.

Ayan Roy, your argument is typical political trickery. China and Pak have their own problems. In Marathi we ahve a saying that the fireplaces in every home are made of mud, no one has them made of gold, problems are common though they might not be the same. Why are you so afraid that Indians will destroy each other. Nothing of that sort will happen because we are committed to stay together, but it will be better if we stayed, as much as possible, in our own states. In fact, what we are saying is ensure better balance in economic growth, that will solve the problem without the likes of Bal, Raaj, Uddhav, Mulayam, Lalu, et al making political capital out of it.

"but it will be better if we stayed, as much as possible, in our own states" In that case Suresh, please file an affidavit legally and try to amend the constitution. What you don't realize is that one incident like this can set off a trend of inter-state hatred in all parts of the country. Different politicians will try to play the indigenous culture card to incite violence against different communities. You are pretty naive about human nature, Suresh.
