I never understood the reason for the grudge maharastrians have for gujjus.I don't use reddit anymore but the while i used to nearly all of the posts on the Mumbai subreddit used to be full of anti gujju comments.
Just read the headline lmao. just think of being retarded enough to make fun of failures of another state of your country.

Ya'll It's not about Grudge which you are saying here It's pure comptetion, and nothing indicates that any fun was made here in the post, just stating plain facts, when some poster says will deprive Mumbai of Nada Nada and will bring it to their stats no one accuses them of Anti Maharashtrians, but only reserves this againt Maharashtrians when they post plain facts and twist it into something that it's not?.

Why so some wanna be enlightened my-foot on X spew that "Democracy is a shame", "Democracy doesn't work for India" as if we gonna be some Singapore without it? Democracy was never a choice and rather a must for India. Without such, it would be much easier to enable fractures and eventually break up. It is one mechanism which people are able to vent their "-phobia" of other tribal groups.

Ironically i blame Chanakya for the demise of the Magadh Empire.
If you read Arthashastra and see the chapters on 'duties of a king', Chanakya basically makes the case that to be a good king, you must be basically an Elon Musk level of highly motivated workaholic guy, where you wake up at 5am and do state related shit till 8pm every damn day, with your 'personal time' being between 8pm and 10pm and then bedtime.
The greatest flaw in Chanakya-niti is, he doesnt understand humans. He posited a system that works, pretty much only when you have a Vikramaditya or Devpala or Rajendra Chola type of highly motivated, smart, capable king.
So we see what happens to the Magadh Empire AFTER Chanakya dies : it it the latter half of the Maurya dynasty or Shunga or the final Kanva dynasty, the pattern remains the same : 1 outta 5 emperors are actually even trying to meet Chanakya's standards, 2 outta 5 are just 'imma gonna smoke hash and have sex in my harem all the time and empire can go to hell' types and the other 2 are ' its time to be woke buddhist/jain/hindu guy who does sabka vikaas, sabka saath and state pays even more benefits and nanny-ism' crap.

Bihar's history is a cationary tale of how to piss away everything one you have everything : people do not realize this, but once Nanda dynasty expanded the Magadh Empire to directly own all of North India ( prior to the Nandas, Magadh controlled what is modern day Madhya Pradesh, Bihar,Chattisgarh & bengal as part of Magadh, everything else were vassal kingdoms of Kaushalya,Panchala,Kuru, Matsya etc) and at that point, Magadh empire had a bigger economy, population base and military than that of the Sakhamani Persian Empire that Alexander took down.
