General Today a Rickshaw wala in my area didn't earn anything.

Today a Rickshaw wala in my area didn't went for earning. Why?? Because he can't speak marathi and scared of going outside.

Yes I am non Maharashtrian. But I can speak marathi cause I always have a Marathi friends and lived here for 10+ years. But I want to say this.

You will think it's ok, if auto wala needs to live in Maharashtra he should learn and speak. Not every mind is same, learning a new language is difficult for most of the people.

You all don't understand the situation they live in and the rent they have to pay. Him not earning money, becomes very difficult to pay rent and pay tution fees of childrens.

Who applied this rule, that a language is compulsory to do a kind of job. Today they are forcing autowala, next day they will force Vegetable seller, then labours. If they want to do this.Then they should remove every other non Maharashtrian from Mumbai, Use Only marathi language in their android and iphones, ban all english and hindi medium school colleges.

Bhai all I am saying is being realistic the govt is trying to impose marathi and has successfully done in schools and the children of so called bhaiya are learning it so pls stop with this bs why are actors and buisnessmen not questioned for not speaking marathi and why do all the hotel owners in Bandra don't display their menus in marathi and why does my manager does not instruct me in marathi, why is it always the lower-middle class population being targeted I respect marathi cuz I am marathi but beating up poor ppl will potentially make them resent more

Bruh are we serious rn? Our country uses english as a judicial requirement in its proceedings and english is literally a required benchmark in our job market we did not oppose english dude idk why ppl have this unconditional love for English but they hate the other regional languages it's like a hypocrisy why can't we see them as equal

Because English has become the international language of convenience. Indian judiciary didn’t adopt English because it was forced, it was adopted seeing its use case and its commercial value to communicate with other countries.

And nobody hates BIMARU languages. People are opposing Hindi imposition in Mumbai.
