I disagree with Shishir. I have been to different part of India and some other conuntries. The first identity people ask as are you south indian or noth indian ? Everywhere there is group of same region people live together, spend time together. They are limiting themselves within their group. You go to Chennai, no one care for you if you are from north India. They know hindi but they will not use to respond. They love only Tamil. You go to Orrisa, you need to know Orida language to survive. You go to Maharstra now, people dislike other state people. Leader can drive to illitrate people but can't to litrate ones. But now days litrates respond more aggressive than il-litrates. Its getting inside ourselves. Whatever the reason, but we don't like our own Indians. Lets spread the message of friendship, love for everyone, togetherness, one nation, Indian. Lets come above all these division objects & subjects to make one India, the great India. Jai Hind

yes, it looks from today's scenaroo that evryone is partioning himself from another.Why should one blame to another.mainly we the people are responsible for present situation,we are voting the people who is having criminal record,corrupted person who has made his own property once he get elected.People don't dare to ask how he has made this property.This property earned by the politician is not from other country but of the people of india itself.In some state it is heavy corruption whereas in some states it is in less percentage.ultimately migration rate wil be more ,where the development is going on.Due to this,local people are not getting employment also facing nuisance of migrated population . If we consider above fact.it is sure that, that day will come soon when regionalism will take its peak and it will become impossible to control the fight betwwen the states for self existence. It is our responsibility now to vote such people who are having love for the development of india and not for their self development.

This is sad that we are loosing our Indian indentity and leading to the regional identity. We are loved to calles as Marathi or Bihari based on our beloved states. Are we forgetting that we are first Indian and should be Indian all the time. What do you say guys ?

No, India being a plural society with the element of Unity in Diversity, understanding minds of the people or their "Indianness" only with the help of one reference, like the region to which they belong will be wrong. The ideology, which we are talking about is not people oriented, rather this is all a part of cheap politics being played by some political muggers. Take for example, what happened in Maharashtra was due to some offencive arguments made by MNS chief Raj Thakrey which ultimately lead to some sort of regionalism in the minds of the people and I bet, majority of educated people don't believe in such sort of things even in Maharashtra and look India as a social, secular and democratic Country.

No, really not. We always feel proud to be Indian than known as maharashtrian,tamilian or keralite only some political elements are nurturing regionalism for their benefit. We should not allow the politicians to spread this wrong message

Absolutely not, I think we are getting this feeling because of mob culture followed by few individuals (driven by politicians) and sensational coverage of the same by media. At the core, most of us know we belong to larger nation called India. You can feel this when you talk to people around you and when you go abroad and meet people from different parts of India. WE have to be careful that we shouldn't allow unruly mobs to drive the sentiments of the people at large. Lets not take these Mobs and media too seriously.
