"A language is a tool for bashing up MP's and staging protests" - A prominent politician who may bash me up for this post.
Diversity of languages was never an issue till like 50 years back. Even then Globalization never protested. It never tried to change the way people speak. Rather it learnt and embraced new cultures.
The ones making an issue out of it are the ones who make an issue out of anything.
Point taken- Marathi needs to be respected and given primary importance in the legislative assembly of Maharashtra. But that does not give anyone the right to force the other to follow it through physical force. It will only through a bad light on the culture their trying to safeguard.
Regarding safeguard of culture I read an article in TOI about a father allowing his nephews to molest his own daughter for marrying a boy from another caste. The punishment these 'life guards of culture' use is murkier than the so-called transgression. Its just an outlet to vent out their frustrations on innocent beings who cannot get back at an angry mob. None of these losers will take any action if left alone. We should fear these buggers than terrorists, as they are doing a much better job in breaking the unity of the country.
These self-appointed culture/language guardians should conduct workshops, events and festivals celebrating the culture and this language.. instead of stuffing it down the throat of the citizens. Roadshows, big festivals, folk dances, wouldn't they be better medium to preach culture?

It will also help you bring votes my dear politician friends.
Spreading violence in the name of culture will only take you down the step of hell bretherens.

Absoultely! fests & educative protests are a much better option...
But frankly i think these ppl are jus too thick headed and petty so they fuss over issues like language & caste instead of lookin at the big picture of national interest... i guess we need to wait for a younger lot to take over... one with a progressive thought process...
Till then, we can entertain ourselves with these clowns!
Nice thought, well written!
what is even more sad is that those who criticise them dont vote.......no point writing any of this if you cant go register a vote.....all this is pointless....
i agree with you anirudh..
language is way to bind ppl
not to separate them
you feel proud when so many cultures and religion exists side by side
and that father is disgusting....
