They are just injecting non reasonable poisons in an aam marathi manus. The results can be seen in trains, roads & even in residential societies. A bitter experience recently i've faced. In committee meeting of our residential society we were discussing certain issues, when one of a marathi guy came forward and ordered us to speak in marathi or they will quit the meeting. These things we are experience even in trains also. I fear if these brain wash will go on in such a way then no one can help mumbai with communal/religious rights. Therefore i would like to appeal my marathi brothers who are first an indian beware of such poisons who have nothing to do with marathi manus or their lives. They are in search of fame & money.
@Joseph don't behave as a frog in a well. which all states u know u south india where u"ll not find hindi speaking people. I have stayed in kerala,Andhra pradesh as well as karnataka and i have found most of the people are aware of hindi.and most important of all they will not beat u for using hindi. The way MNS is progressing and getting support by the goons, the day is not far that just because of them it will be hard for aam marathi manoos to come out of maharastra.
its correct because we are sun soils people
Its False impression that only Hindi speaking guys are Indian and what you will call to Other state people.They r more in numbers will u teach lessons to all those states having different mother tongue. Are they out-of-India .Pakistanis speaks Hindi too Are Hindi speaking guys are linked with Pakistan anyways----Isn't it Absurd. You are saying to unit against " Marathis " then my dear friend are u not united yet(Doubt!) and for this case you r not better than any terrorist as they r doing the same(unite to break) ...Think while you speak .Stop Blame Game .Mind your work so that India will progress fast. Jai Hind--
I would like to express my intrest and convince to the govt. of india, that MNS leadrs and Chif manister of MP should be put behind the bar for making the open public rallys against biharis and UP,s credability. as they are not aware of the constitution of india hence they do not desrve the to be an politician for india.
Raj thakre and his associates should be hanged till death as they are more dangerous than the terrorist those attack Mumbai. We oppose the policies of MANSE and the Marathi's Nara as we all are citizen of India. Raj's Gunde do not believe on the legislature of India they all behaves like gunda mawali's. Now we all Indain says that Raj is no 1 enemy of India and their integration.
Hey all, can someone please explain us that why hindi is ous national language? and how many states in india are actually hindi speaking states? Can 2-3 state's speaking langueage be a national language? and Are south indian states ani-national because they do not speak in hindi from 1960? Jentleman, think twice and reply to all thease questions with fresh mind and without any false-ego. Thanks Joseph D.
It is most unfortunate that in a civilized society and world how we are going to tolerate such people who do not to respect the national language Hindi. It is more shameful that they (MNS MLAs) are the representatives of the people in 21st century. Respect for a particular language can not be forced upon in this manner. These people should be immediately debarred from any public representation and their MLA ship should be immediately withdrawn.
All Hindi speaking people should roll up their sleeves and teach lesson to Marathis who are challenging our national pride. We should drive them out of Maharashtra.
Crazy Shit.....man wat ru talkin about....lemme tell u sumthing....i myself m against this shit...but lemme tell u this is going 2 be a revolution.....i have seen signs i have bever seen b4.....thing r nt goinng 2 b same anymore....
@Jaidrath Kumar Boss why don't yo go to Pakistan..! They speak Hindi too...! lolz..!
dear friend rutu you don't know hindi is 2nd largest Language in the world after "Mandarin Chinese" and other think if y r not able to respect your Mother tang then you r not able to love your country. This type of thing happened only in mumbai, outside of mountain (mumbai) there is %u201CIndia%u201D please go over there. And other think have you been in south till the date? I think big no! They are speaking hindi!!!
It is high time Bombay should be separated from Maharashtra and made union territory to stop dadagiri of Marathees.
Marathis should not be given jobs in sensitive areas because they hate our national language and nation. These Marathi Btd can take oath in English but not in Hindi.
If Marathis speak Marathi language outside Maharashtra they should be slapped and beaten up. Congress or BJP being Marahtis will support Marathi MNS leaders because of their love towards Marathi and hate towards Hindi and India. Congress is sowing seeds of partition by not shooting down Marathi followers of MNS and ShivSena.
We respect the other languages of India either they are Marathi or Malyalam. We live in a diversified country so we should respect each others language,religion, costume and festivals irrespective of caste, gender and state. Whatever is happening in the name of Marathi Manoos is not good for the nation as this will weaken the pillar of India. Although language is means of communication so don't play with the language just think about the well being of people, so that nation get developed. MNS is an untouchable community of India. Doesn't they (MNS hooligans ) listen the Hindi music, don't they like Hindi actors? As per the constitutional right provided to us, we can live any where for our livelihood and we can speak any language as per the choice and if any body is restricting anyone from their fundamental right, he should be punished as per the law of the land. Raj Thakrey is not above the law, as whole nation knows Thakrey family has done enormous damage to the national integrity.
IF A POLITICAL PARTY IN MUMBAI WANTS TO IMPRESS PEOPLE, THEY COULD ASSIGN THEIR WORKERS OF EVERY WARD TO MAKE SURE THAT THE STREETS ARE CLEANED PROPERLY AND GARBAGE IS PICKED UP REGULARLY. THEY CAN CALL UP MUNICIPAL WARDS TO CORRECT ANYTHING THAT IS WRONG IN THEIR AREA. THEY CAN FORCE THE MUNICIPALITY TO FILL THE POTHOLES IN THEIR AREA. IF THEY DO SUCH CONSTRUCTIVE WORK, PEOPLE WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO VOTE FOR THEM AND LISTEN TO THEM. BUT, NO, THEY WANT TO BE HEARD ONLY BY CREATING A HUNGAMA EVERYWHERE AND FIGHT ANYONE WHO DOES NOT FOLLOW THEIR THINKING! SHAME ON MNS, SHAME ON THE PEOPLE WHO ELECT SUCH PEOPLE TO ASSEMBLY!
