It's really silly of this raj thakeray, spoiling the name of balasaheb.
In this age of internet, you can actually contribute to your chosen language sitting anywhree in the world. you can write, make songs, films, etc. anywhere in the world. You don't really need LAND to support a language. This is the biggest fallacy in linguistic states. Also, the belief that linguistic states help preserve the culture/language is frivolous. 1. If your language is so great, it should not be dependent on state grants and the like to preserve it. 2. The intermixing of language with culture is frivolous. The culture in all parts of India, thankfully, is the same and based on Hindu values and conscience. The same is represented in over thousands of languages that India has. Geographically, language changes every 200 kms. The marathi of Pune is different from Nagpur's. So, what is the point of drawing boundaries on the basis of changing entities like language.
