Does Marathi people on this board wants to have a seperate state called Marathastan? The reasoning they give to support Raj is ridiculous. Firstly by N Indian they mean UP and Biharis, which is not true (they are central regions). Secondly, people of India, be it from UP, Bihar, Andaman or even any gali of maharashtra is free to go and work in any part of country. UP Biharis work in Delhi also. Why shouldn't we kick them out calling them "South Indians". Becos we know its against our Indianness and also we dont have shiv sena/MNS. Porkis on this board laugh at such remarks from marathis on this board. This is sth found nowhere in the world(except in former USSR)

Sorry buddy. Raj destroyed all your greatness. You have an imature mind to realize whether you benefitted out of this issue. You want to get yourself the status of TN? then you are moving in a wrong direction. North Indians have their own language. Punjabi, Hryanivi, bhojpuri and MANY others. Still they dont cry about their language and culture. They dont ask you to learn their language. You are an Indian but dont know that Hindi IS NOT A NORTH INDIAN LANG. SO STOP CRYING THAT WE FORCE 'OUR' LANGUAGE ON YOU. Moreover, if you dont want to learn Hindi, dont learn and patronise Marathi. Atleast TN doesnt chase people away like your leader and their goondas did

This is on TN:
I had heard about problem of North Indians in TN. Apart from the language problem (since I don't speak tamil) I did not find any other problem. I could still manage with english and a little hindi.
The fact is hindi was being forced during 70s and 80s (correct me if I am wrong). Rather than forcing people to learn a new language, if you can explain the benefits, most of the people will learn the language. Most of my tamil friends speak good hindi... though I could not learn much tamil.
TN is far better than what Thackreys have in plan for Mumbai. Save Mumbai ...

Your goondas attacked people who were just everyday workers and has nothing to do with your bldy culture or anyone else. Someday you will be working outside Maharashtra and be driven out like that. Then will question your intelligence on this matter. You think Raj did all this to preserve your great culture?... LOL
