Mumbai has never benefitted from Marathis, and even today, they are a small minority in Mumbai, mostly in menial and government (bribe-extorting) jobs. Because of their capacity for violence (like muslims), they have got more than their due. They have border disputes with almost every state around them.

That is because we are broad minded like Hindus are about Muslims. But now we have stopped taking more guests. So pack your bags. We gave you a room and you are telling us that we are not fit to live in out house? You deserve the beating.

Do you realise that our Marathi servants will starve if we (not me, but several others) leave Mumbai? Whom will your people extort money from? Mumbai is not of the Marathis, and today, even your violence won't work very well.
