In erstwhile Bombay Presidency, Marathis were the majority people.
There was no fight as such between Marathis, Gujarathis and Kannadigas.
Maharashtra state was created to clip the wings of Morarji Desai and Chavan, who nehru saw as a threat.
Nehru did similar politics with Tamils and Telugus to clip the wings of C Rajagopalachari, India's first Governor General and Subsequent Prime Minister (those days, CMs were called PMs) of Madras Presidency.
Linguistic State Reorganisation was a fraud perpetrated by Nehru whose effects we are living today. As long as Sardar was alive this madness never took off. Sardar Pate's Kar Committee explicitly recommended that linguistic states not good for India.
Nehru and congress added the language politics to divide and rule;
Manipulating caste, divide Hindus, self serving agenda - this is the essence of nehru family and congress. Now of course they are using this thakeray idiot to split the marathis.
Hope maharashtrians and hindi speakers will give a fitting reply to these crooks next elections.
Solution: Let the feelings of antinational vermin be damned. Make citiies like chennai, bangalore, hyderabad, mumbai, lucknow, kolkata and ahmedabad be declared UTs with immediate effect.
The article by anil is third rate. he shows a subconscious marathi bias. Nevertheless his core point is correct.language politics is not good for India. The only beneficiaries will be anti national vermin that seek to undermine India.

Singhaa get your facts right, Nehru was opposed to linguistic division of states- and the fact that people had to fight for creation of Maharashtra proves it. If Nehru was for it why was there a need to fight

Sorry. It was Patel who was opposed. Nehru set up States Reorganisation committee.
The fight for creation of maharashtra is a myth orchestrated by thakeray kind of louts in cahoot with nehru to split the state.
