Yes the constitution gives right to all the citizens to move and settle anywhere in the country, but it also states that the citizen should follow the culture and law of that place. why do we marathis find marwadis, gujaratis, sikhs and karnatakis as our own people - why do we enjoy dandiya as much as ganapati...think about it. All these communities have stayed peacefully and have mixed well in the culture of maharashtra. My marwadi friend in Pune celebrates 10 days of ganapati pooja at home. In short some of our friends from UP and Bihar will have to change, adapt themselves to the culture of the land to become acceptable. If u make a warm gesture you will be greeted by us but if you make show of strenghth you will be kicked out. goodagardi ka jawab goondagardi hi hoga

I think south indians also had the same problem when India Gandhi Backed Bala Saheb against "Datta Samant" to capture the Trade Unions. They targeted the South Indians as Congress was not having followers there.
Look, everyone enjoy the functions but the problem is when someone puts wrong impression of anything and you look with a different prospective. Otherwise there is nothing as problem. I am a Bihari and having Marathi relatives. I think we both love the culture and food.

What you said is right my friend. That's the trust most of us are not accepting in the right spirit.
