India as it is..

Though I am in USA these days, I closely follow what is going on in my "Des"(Hindi word for Country). Most of the media today focuses on spreading bad news, that would let you down for the day. Just for this reason, I go through the Indian online newspapers only in the nights.
These days, the fight between thoughtless natives of  Bombay and people from other states are spreading like wild fire. This leaves me thinking if our country of billion people is going to be the next Congo. Today's headline news is that a man from U.P( northern Indian state) was beaten to death (Well, what a nice way to showcase our 3000 years of culture and tradition!) in a commuter train. Bombay, as of today is built by men from all states all over India. There is no reason why a Bombay-native should have preference over an outsider. Everyone in the country is entitled for his dreams and fortunes in the so called "commercial capital of India". What has Bombay-natives given to Bombay except for renaming it to "Mumbai"?
