Few days ago, there was a issue raised by Maharashtra politicians regarding the celebrations of Bihar divas organised by the migrant workers in Mumbai and the chief guest is the CM of Bihar. This is good thing that at least the migrant people are getting united and celebrating in some way and telling their people back home that all is well for them in Mumbai. This should be taken as a positive step but some politicians did not understand the purpose of the function and made some bad remarks in public which later he corrected himself.
What it is to be appreciated is the acceptance of a large number of one state into another state and the there is merger at the grass roots. But at the top there is a idealogical rot trying to create differences. Due to unequal development of the nation and also due to class divide there is a movement of people from area to another in large numbers. Usually people of a particular state move to their state captails, industrialized hubs in search of jobs and get settled there as long as they have jobs. Here these people build bonds sometome very strong with the locals and takeup their traditions and values and get accustomed to it.
The mixing of the native and foreigners is very common thing in the history our nation and it comes easy to us to understand and absorb the values of others. We were very tolerant and welcoming new ideas for the progressive development of the society, but due to some ill minded politicians we have gone the other way around. But in the end good sense prevailed and the Bihar Divas is celebrated without much fuss.
