Do we live in a "country"??

Do we live in a Country? This the question which came to my mind while watching the IPL match between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super kings. I was watching the score on ciricbuzz and also chatting with others. Initially the chat was related to cricket but later it all came down to a menace called Regionalism. All the people were having mutual hatred for other states and a sense of superiority for themselves. This reminds me to what is happening in Maharashtra .
Maharashtra, one of the most developed state of India, is showing the most primitive kind of behaviour. Suddenly from nowhere a person called Raj Thackeray emerges as their saviour because he is talking about Maharashtra for Maharshtrians. This the most ridiculous thing I have come across in the recent times. People are throwing away the North Indians from Maharashtra and are not allowed to enter.
India at 60, has faced many problems like terrorism, war, natural calamity, disease, poverty, population etc but what could prove to be the deadliest is Regionalism.It has the potential to shatter our very base and throw the whole nation into bits and pieces. What is happening in Maharashtra is just the Tip of the iceberg. The hatred is deep rooted every where. It is like a dormant volcano. People like Raj Thackeray are just trying to evoke these sleeping monster for their personal gains.
Now the responsibility lies in the hands of Maharshtrian to show this world their true spirit. They must out rightly reject such people and let this country remain ONE. They might be tempted by little personal gains, but they should remember that the cause of Nation is bigger than any state.
We have lost a large number of lives for this country and so let us not break it for people like Raj.
