PASSPORT ONLY FOR MAHARASHTRAINS IN UNION OF REPUBLIC OF INDIA

Reported on May 30, 2011 from Mumbai , Maharashtra  ι Report #8429

In my wildest dresm ever I had thought one day, I would felt so disheartened to hear that I am not eligible for an Indian passport in Maharashtra . The reason I am an south Indian. Being born in Maharashtra and legally domicilled in Maharashtra I was informed by the passport verification officer to pay him the fees to clear my form.
I had explined in Marathi local language,that being born to South Indian parents by heart I am a typical Maharahstrian Indian and fully qualify for the Indian passport. But I had to follow the instructions of the passport verification officer as I had no support of any politician or know some strong business man. I paid 500 INR to get an Indian passport as bribe.
That was the day when I questioned my identity am I an INDIAN,MAHARASHTRIAN OR SOUTH *******
