The controversy over a minor seat in Mumbai’s local train has now become a big linguistic issue. On Friday (July 18), in a female compartment of the Central Line on the evening, a woman told another woman – “If you want to live in Mumbai, speak Marathi, otherwise get out”.

The incident happened when the train was packed with the crowd. During this time there was an argument among women. This incident video is now becoming increasingly viral on social media.

What is in viral video?

It was seen in the video that 6 to 7 women were arguing for one seat. In the midst of the debate, a woman commented on not speaking Marathi on another woman, which caught the matter.

Shortly, other women also started participating in the debate. After this incident, Railway Protection Force (RPF) and Government Railway Police (GRP) have started investigating the case. Officials said that this matter has now become a matter of social and linguistic harmony.

Language dispute depth once again

This incident has again given air to the language politics going on in Maharashtra. Recently, there have been many cases of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) activists attacking non-Marathi speakers. This week, a shopkeeper was beaten up with WhatsApp status in Vikhroli, Mumbai. The shopkeeper was forced to publicly apologize.

Apart from this, on 1 July, a street food vendor was slapped in Marathi in Thane for not talking in Marathi. The migrant auto driver was publicly beaten in Palghar, including the Shiv Sena workers of the MNS and Uddhav Thackeray faction.

Mumbai businessman Sushil Kedia’s office was also vandalized because he had talked about not learning Marathi. The video of this incident has also gone viral, in which 5 to 6 people were seen throwing bricks in their office.

A security personnel tried to stop them, but the attackers did not stop even to vacate the bag. The businessman later released apologies. Such cases have once again raised the ongoing tension regarding the language and identity of Maharashtra.

In a public meeting held on Friday in Meera-Bhayander, Maharashtra, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena Chief Raj Thackeray said in clear terms that if the state government tries to make Hindi compulsory from the first grade, MNS will not back down from closing the school.

He warned Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis directly and said that no attempt to impose Hindi in Maharashtra will be tolerated. This statement has come at a time when the dispute in the state over the triple policy is deepening.

What did Raj Thackeray say?

Raj Thackeray said that efforts are being made to impose Hindi in place of Marathi. He alleged that this is an “experiment”, so that Mumbai could be gradually connected to Gujarat. According to him, Hindi is just 200 years old language, while the history of Marathi is 2,500 to 3,000 years old.

Raj Thackeray lashed out at the committee constituted by Devendra Fadnavis and said that even before the government had tried, MNS had closed their shops.

Since when is the language dispute?

Recently, MNS workers assaulted a shopkeeper, who refused to talk in Marathi. Two orders of the BJP government, in which it was a matter of making Hindi compulsory from the first, has been withdrawn after the protest. But Chief Minister Fadnavis again said that the Trishag policy will be implemented, but the committee will decide to decide the class. On this, Thackeray said, “If the government imposes Hindi again, we will close the school.”

Dubo-Dubo will kill Nishikant Dubey- Raj Thackeray

Raj Thackeray gave an open challenge to BJP MP Nishikant Dubey’s ‘Dipp-Pattak Karge’ comment and said, “Dubey you will come to Mumbai, Dubo-Dubo will kill him.” After independence, he also cited the alleged anti -Marathi policies of Morarji Desai and Vallabhbhai Patel and said that attacks on Bihari migrants in Gujarat do not become an issue, but small incidents in Maharashtra catch fire.

Raj Thackeray said that an attempt is being made to impose Hindi under the guise of Hindutva, which will not be accepted. He appealed to the Maharashtra people to speak in Marathi and encourage others to adopt it too. Thackeray also clarified that the issue of language is not only cultural, but also with political consciousness and regional identity.

The language dispute has once again taken a fierce form in Maharashtra. This time the case is in Palghar district where a migrant auto-rickshaw driver at Virar station was publicly beaten by Shiv Sena (UBT) and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) workers and forced him to forcibly apologize.

The incident came out after a video went viral, in which the driver insisted on talking in Hindi and said, “I will speak Hindi.” Angry activists beat him up, considering this statement an insult to Marathi language and cultural symbols.

Shiv Sena (UBT) and MNS supporters surrounded

It is being told that the dispute started a few days ago when a person from Uttar Pradesh, Bhavesh Padolia, and the said driver had a debate about not talking in Marathi. In the viral video, the driver was seen answering in Bhojpuri and Hindi, which many local organizations considered an insult to Marathi Asmita.

According to the news channel NDTV, on Saturday (July 12), supporters of Shiv Sena (UBT) and MNS surrounded the driver near Virar railway station. Many people, including the women present there, slapped her and publicly apologized.

Shiv Sena will get answers in style- Shiv Sena UBT

Confirming the incident, Virar city head of Shiv Sena (UBT), Uday Jadhav, said, “If someone insults Marathi language, Maharashtra or Marathi manush, he will get a reply in Shiv Sena style. We have taught him a lesson by apologizing to that auto driver.” Jadhav also claimed that the auto driver had made derogatory remarks about Maharashtra and Marathi, which could not be tolerated in any form.

No police complaint has been filed on this incident yet. The Palghar police say that viral video is being watched and the facts are being investigated, but no formal complaint has been received from any side yet.

Significantly, this incident is a recent case of increasing tension over language dispute in the state. Earlier on 1 July, a street food vendor in Thane was beaten by MNS workers for not talking in Marathi. Even after this, many organizations had protested. Now this issue is not only increasing social stress, but is also becoming a center of political debate regarding education policy and linguistic identity.

After the end of the union’s all -India -level province campaigner meeting, RSS’s All India Publicity Head Sunil Ambekar has clarified the RSS’s stand on all questions and issues during the press conference. During the press conference, Sunil Ambekar has also answered all the media questions.

On the question of discussion on Operation Sindoor, he said that there has been a discussion about the events that took place in the country. How did he respond after the incident of terror, there was a discussion about it. Talking about the discussion about the attack on Hindu temples of many countries, he said that all subjects have been discussed, but there is no decision in this meeting.

What did Sunil Ambekar say on conversion?

While answering the question on the language dispute, Sunil Ambekar said that the Sangh always has a role that all the language of India is the national language. All people already take education in their language and this thing is already established. On conversion, he said that he has the right to worship in his own way, but if someone tries to change someone by giving a conspiracy or greed, it is wrong. Society tries to stop it.

On the statements of the Congress banning the Sangh, he said that the Sangh was banned earlier and then had to be withdrawn. He was not legally valid, so had to withdraw. On the question of taking out illegal intruders, he said that Sangh workers are continuously working. We have done awakening work before, still working continuously.

Improvement in the condition of Manipur

On the situation in Manipur, he said that it takes time to become normal when there is some dispute, but gradually the situation is improving. At the same time, on action on Naxalites, he said that Naxalite violent conspiracy was going on in the society that it should end. There is a way to speak democratically in democracy. It is a good thing that action is being taken on Naxalism.

Constitution was also tortured

In addition to the Emergency, Sunil Ambekar said on the question of reviewing socialism and secularism that the constitution has also been tortured as people were tortured in jails during the Emergency. The circumstances in which the constitution was changed was not a good situation. The new generation should know on this.
