No where I have mentioned talking English being 'intelligent'. The 'typical Marathi' is not indented to hurt, just for a lighter nerve.
And yes, you will have to agree to the fact that your leader/s didn't show required maturity in guiding your people though what he/they said required attention and action.
And no where I have found kelawala shouting 'Come on mann! would you like to buy some bananas...!" It seems your experience outside Maharashtra is extremely low and is through heresay... Which is again sounds....
Note, UP is told to have 1000s of Marathi mandals... In south big MNCs all have marathis working though you people will continue south bashing. In north, gurgaon, noida all have scores of marathis. No one crying foul probably since they are adding value to cities where they work.
Understand, the world is changing, to grow up as globalised citizen is also good for marathi people...
But for that one have be considerative and have to admit to one's weakness and find a solution, not being a cry baby at others.
I still can't understand what you have find offensive in my post.
And I still maintain something needs to be done about the core issue.
