@Aditya_0211 The hollowness of your arguments is appalling. NY, Berlin, London, and Paris are very old cities with a unique history and evolution. Bombay was a group of uninhabited islands that were initially shaped by Goans like Dr Bhau Daji Lad. Parsis and Gujratis turned it into a business center. Marathis made up the workforce. The influx of North Indians and Madrasis was a lot later. Hindi emerged as the dominant language, not out of policy but consensus (or rather lack of consensus on a working language).
Today, Industries have shifted out of Mumbai. Yet, it houses the headquarters of all major Indian companies. These HQs involve high-paying jobs requiring the best of India's talents. You cannot put language restrictions on such jobs. Also, Mumbai houses Bollywood, whose working language of which is Hindi.
In conclusion, the language/region debate about "protecting" identity should not turn into destroying other identities. There is enough space for everything to coexist and perpetuate. If you are so "reformist," then campaign to destroy things like caste discrimination and Muslim fundamentalism.
