PS using "We" too much is chauvinistic. Chauvinist identify themselves with a group and become the spokesperson for it. Personaly I dont see any thing wrong with a state/city not liking or discouraging migrants. Its there state and its up to them to decide how to run it. If they want to make it difficult to come they can. Bihar has made itself an unattractive for any one to migrate to. Most muslim dominated areas have become that. eg Bhopal city/old delhi. So if the people want to emulate that its up to them. RE”…if we fail to grow up”

Whether is upper caste vs. lower caste, Hindu vs. Muslim, Hindi speaking vs. non-Hindi speaking, our chauvinism knows no bounds. Raj Thaceray is not an exception. He is no doubt a norm but so is Tarun Vijay. Till yesterday Thackerays were "Hindu Hridaya Samrat"-s. Tarun Vijay and his right wing supporters did not see any problem with shiv sena-s islamophobic chauvinism, because it did not hurt them. However their Marathi chauvinism is a problem because now they are also at the receiving end. Indians are no doubt preparing themselves for a civil war with their rabid chauvinism on caste, religion and language fault lines. Neither our rising sensex nor booming IT sector will be able to save us, if we fail to grow up. For most of the Indians, every other group - whether it is on religious, caste or language line - is at fault except the group that they happen to be born into. Make no mistake.
