Mumbai in the past few decades have regressed compared to other cities. Employment opportunities have dwindled. Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Delhi became the places for software jobs. No big software companies came to stay in Mumbai. A lot of textile industries have moved out. Other industries prefer Gujarat. Fashion and Bollywood still remains in Mumbai but for how long?
One of these days Maharashtrians will have to move out of Maharashtra in large numbers and face regionalism. The jobs in Mumbai were created from people across the country and not by Marathi speaking people alone. When these peope are gone the jobs will too. Mumbai was the origin of regionalism in India after independence. Since damage control was not done the disease has spread across the country.
