Whether someone here agrees or not but the fact is that what happened and now has started in Maharastra and marathi culture will always remain a blackspot on marathi culture and their national identity. Whether people agree or not but the fact is that such mental level and thinkign si reflection of a self-cocooned culture and mentality of loosers and incompetent. India has more than 100 languages and if someone is in transferabel job or in continous trip kind of job, then accordign to these marathi gentlemen, one needs to spend more time in learning those languages instead of doign the real business. Its sheer shame for Marathis to acknowledge hindi as north Indian language instead of National language as given in constitution of India. In Bihar alone there are more than 8 languages being spoken and Hindi is neither regional language of Bihar! Then how come a marathi forcefully put his limited knowledge of language and say that its war of Hindi V/s non-Hindi.
marathis needs to be open, at least in the age of 21st century they should not behave like a tribe who will otherwise definately loose in the age of global and cosmo culture and competition. Those who raised this issue are nothing but scared of competition and probably incompetent people, be it marathi on non-marathi. And this is the ultimate truth.
This is a result of lack of charismatic personality as political leaders who take up such sick and ill level of politics to get vote base as they lack their own persoanl c
