Athale shows true colors

Why should Biharis not come for Railway jobs in Mumbai? Athale, you are showing your prejudices Maharashtrian colors. read the constitution of India. Any person in India can come to Mumbai and work if he or she wants to.

You say Mumbai gets very little in return? You are wrong. For the first forty years after Independence, most of the development was concentrated in the four metros and especially Mumbai due to the unfair policies of the Central Government. Most businesses were in Mumbai. Mumbai and Delhi were the only two decent international airports at that time. Film industry is in Mumbai. Stock exchange is in Mumbai. IIT is in Mumbai. I can go on listing so many things. It is only after liberalization, that states like AP and Karnataka have achieved some progress in the IT sector. Before that, there was an excessive concentration of development in and around Mumbai. Pune also developed because Pune is relatively close to Mumbai. Further, Mumbai also gets mostly uninterrupted power supply. And for goodness sake, Mumbai has a very good local train system. Because of such unfair concentration of development, Mumbai is too overcrowded and that is the reason why there is so much strain on it. Flies will always prefer jaggery compared to sand.
