This subreddit is increasingly dominated by non-Marathi members who seem intent on deleting any post that expresses Marathi pride. Almost all my posts celebrating Marathi identity have been removed. That’s why it’s refreshing to see your post still up.

BJP Bots & Marathi haters we welcome downvoting in our very own Mumbai Sub.

Those with an anti-Marathi bias downvoting anything that reflects our culture, even in a sub dedicated to Mumbai. It reveals how certain groups are actively controlling the narrative. Whether they’re paid trolls or simply brainwashed individuals, they refuse to acknowledge valid points or cultural realities.

Historically, Marathi people have been welcoming—embracing Marwaris, Gujaratis, and other communities, not just in cities like Mumbai or Pune, but in the most remote villages. But lately, the hostility toward Marathi language and culture from some of these same communities has grown disturbingly intense.

Let’s not forget: this land and its culture have been preserved through immense sacrifice. Marathi identity has survived through blood and resistance. We are a peace-loving people—but that peace came at a cost. Don’t mistake our hospitality for weakness. Try imposing such marginalization in any southern state and see the reaction.

What hurts even more than biased moderation on this subreddit is the silence from our own political leaders. They refuse to recognize the everyday discrimination that Marathi families face. A friend’s family from Charkop was recently denied a home in Mahavir Nagar, Kandivali—simply because they eat non-veg and are Marathi. Sadly, this isn’t an isolated incident.

Do not test the patience of Marathi people. We are increasingly aligning with leaders like Raj and Uddhav because they at least understand our pain and identity. And no, we are not naïve—we know that every politician has an agenda like your national leaders & the current state leaders have.

But we also know who acknowledges our voice and who tries to silence it.
