I think for the state to think itself above the country is a joke and one that will, should it continue, ruin the city of Mumbai. I'm sure other cities will pick up the slack, in fifty years India will have a new financial capital city. The NCP is the worst political party in a long time and is full of ruffians and extortionists. This is a great post and provides much needed education to many current Maharastrians.

As you have rightly pointed out that the Bombay as we know of this city was built primarily by Gujaratis and Parsis. (Or should we just say Gujaratis? Doesn't "Gujarati" cover all Gujarati speaking people regardless of their religion? Almost all the bawas I know insist that their mother tongue is Gujarati.) If at all, Maharashtrian chauvinism has only contributed to the decline of Bombay spirit. Ironically, it is Maharashtrian chavinists who are demanding "Bombay" for themselves, even though, they do not have any positive contribution to show in Bombay.
