So what about the marathis who go out of maharashtra and settle there? Tell me how many marathis learn tamil when they settle in chennai or how many of them learn punjabi when they settle in Punjab? The freedon to settle anywhere in India is a constitutional right and it doesn't come with a tag of learning the local language. People like Raj Thackrey don't have any agenda to comete with the well-settled political parties, so they rake up such issues. humans will always migrate in search of better opportunities. Don't maharashtrians move out to other parts of India and world for better opportunities? Ask them to come back and settle in their native place which by the way is not maharashtra. It's africa, that's where the humans came into existence.
