Population control has worked in most of the southern states too. But the southerners have their own rich and diverse Indian culture and hold on to it opposing the imposition of the Aryan uniculture in a more subtle manner. That's because of their love for their own language, customs, festivals, dresses, dances and songs. South Indians still wear their bindis on their foreheads. They don't empty a dabba of sindur on their heads and stop wearing bindi, like most Aryans have started doing now. The marathis should also promote their own culture, in the form of language, customs, festivals etc., instead of letting the Aryans first usurp on all that and then trying to fight it violently.

All this talk of preserving culture is fine if the demography is maintained. Even in deep South India in a city like Mysore if the population is changed to majority Biharis/UPites - no amount of culture will save that city from falling into the same despair as Bihar/UP.

Well, you should look at Bangalore and Chennai and understand the difference. In Bangalore, there are too many pubs, discos etc and there are too many people from outside Karnataka. The result is that even the local Kannadigas who are otherwise quite moralistic, after indulging with the north-Indians also engage in promiscuity. But in Chennai, there are people from outside but an indiscriminate growth of pubs and discos has been prevented, instead there are libraries and temples. The rare discos that are, usually contain only North Indians, Christians or Brahmins. Tamil non-brahmins are virtually absent from such places. And thus the culture and morality of the locals stands maintained.

Population already in control for hindus. Muslims populations increasing left and right. Hindus are not responsible for Mus population. UP West has rich heritage and most advanced. At the same time UP east has more Mus, Dalit and they are still struggling due to Govt corruption. Same time, I want to add one thing like all indian states have some underdeveloped area like Vidha, Telanga, kuchh etc
