An Appeal from a Marathi Manus

Call this an appeal, request or a contempt, or even an accusation, but hereby, every Indian has become your victim, directly or indirectly. North Indians, who are being looked at with hatred and also the Marathis who deny to forcefully follow your ethics, who are being looked down upon in India minus Maharashtra. I, in spite of being a Marathi, do never want to visit Mumbai, because you've made it a difficult place to be in.

I turn on the news, I see you all over it. I hate to open a newspaper and discuss the news with my North-Indian (that is how you call them) friends, because I fear how they'll react to it. Still, I have been following the news and have been also scrutinizing it just for a spec of a reason why what you're doing is necessary, and I've not managed to find even one. I have been accusing the South-Indians for disrespectful attitude towards Hindi, but this is way out of my imagination. You . . We have gone far worse than them in condemning Hindi and supporting regionalism. If we don't show our guests respect, we can't expect the same attitude back from them.

The attitude is contagious. Marathis in Maharashtra have started to show symptoms of being contaminated; are you really looking forward to the day when all of Maharashtra becomes sick of the epidemic?

Give us all a break, will you, please?
