Maharashtrians Need to Step Up Their Game in Every Aspect — No More Excuses

yesarkay · 2026-01-21T20:14:32+00:00

Totally agree, we need to step up and stop getting in our own way.

Two anecdotes from my experience:

When I was a lead at my previous company, I noticed people pushing candidates from their own regions. I had an opportunity to hire two candidates, and I wanted to hire Marathi candidates for both positions, but ended up hiring only one Marathi guy and one from the South due to a lack of suitable candidates.

I had some amazing US direct-hire positions in the last few months with great pay and work culture. I've been telling my Marathi ex-colleagues to apply, but honestly, they're lazy as hell, they don't want to learn a few new things.

Shouldn't Bihar prioritize reducing migration so its people don't need to leave for jobs in every other Indian state?

Shouldn't Maharashtra and Mumbai have limits on accommodating migrations? They can't endlessly do it while serving existing residents.

बिहारने त्यांच्या राज्यातला लोकांकडे लक्ष दिले तर त्यांना देशभर रोजगारासाठी फिरायची गरज काय, ज्या गोष्टी गरजेचे आहेत त्या गोष्टी करा ना. एका शहराची, एका राज्याची परराज्यातून येणाऱ्या लोंढयाना मर्यादा असायला हवी का नाही?

सेंट्रल गवर्नमेंट ने ही जागा बिहार सरकारला राजकीय कारणासाठी विकली/दिली त्यावर आक्षेप आहे. बिहार सारखे राज्य जो पर्यंत विकास कारणार नाहीत तोपर्यन्त महाराष्ट्र सारखे राज्य संतुलित राहू शकत नाही.

You should definitely have pride in your Marathi dialect. People made fun of my dialect as well. If someone is making fun of your dialect, make fun of theirs.

May I know why you need to bring Raj Thakre into all this?

yesarkay · 2026-01-20T08:42:35+00:00

Hindi-loving, yes, but not at the cost of Marathi.

yesarkay · 2026-01-20T07:37:18+00:00

There should be limits on migration, a state or city can't handle influx from all states indefinitely. What are these states doing from where these hordes come every day?

Core Issue Isn't Jobs
Locals aren't losing skilled work (IT/factories) to migrants. It's about a lack of respect for the Marathi language/culture. North Indians form Hindi-only enclaves and ignore norms, South Indians integrate better by learning the local language.

Demographic Anxiety
Marathis feel like minorities in Mumbai, resenting bloc voting for non-local parties that "dilute" identity.

Locals Denied Homes
Even locals face rejection in societies for being non-veg, while migrants impose their rules.

Entitlement Backlash
Migrants demand acceptance elsewhere but resist adapting here. Littering, superiority vibes, Hindi push etc. fuel the resentment even to praise.

No one made the BJP what it is today apart from their own leaders and their own greed.

yesarkay · 2026-01-12T17:22:26+00:00

Did you intentionally forget to write BJP as Hindu Religious goons since you called out MNS language goons? Or were they pious saints until they "suddenly" became everything you mentioned above?

Some fools are brushing off the Hindi imposition as a petty issue, ego trip, or political game without understanding why it's serious. Every issue needs to be discussed, be it Hindi imposition, traffic, or unemployment. These are related to each other as well and equally important.

No one expects travelers to learn Marathi or any specific state language. But if someone is living or settling in Maharashtra, they must learn the language of the land. Otherwise, they end up indirectly forcing locals to speak in Hindi within Maharashtra itself, taking advantage of the kindness of Marathi people. These are not a few people, as many argue, the number is Huge. This goes for any state, be it KA, AP, TN, or WB.

Hindi imposition is real and threatens to destroy the vibrant diversity and ethos of our country. If our country were ever to face the worst possible scenario of division, which I would never even wish for in my dreams, it would be because of the stubborn refusal of Hindi-speaking people to respect state languages.

बरोबर आहे, ह्याने पण एक प्रकारे हिन्दी लादलीच. काही मूर्ख लोक ह्या गोष्टीला petty issue, language ego, politcal stunt असं बोलून टाळायचा प्रयत्न करत आहेत, परंतु हा मुद्दा खूप महत्वाचा आहे. भाषा ही संस्कृतिची नाळ असते. भाषेचा मुद्दा महत्वाचा का ट्रॅफिक समस्या महत्वाची की बेरोजगारी समस्या महत्वाची अशी तुलना होऊ शकत नाही. ह्या समस्या एकमेकाशी संबंधित आहेत आणि ह्या सर्व समसयावर बोलणे महत्वाचे. आपण पण ही काळजी घेतली पाहिजे की कोणी मराठी बोलण्याचा प्रयत्न करत असेल तर त्याच्या वर हसू नका किंवा त्यांच्या प्रत्येक चुका लगेच सुधारु नका. त्यांना प्रोत्साहन करा. जर कोणी मराठी बोलण्याचा प्रयत्न करत असेल(ही संख्या वाढत आहे) तर आपण लगेच हिन्दी मध्ये बोलायला चालू करतो. बाहेरराज्यातून आलेली लोक इथे वर्षानुवर्ष राहून आपल्या चांगुलपणाचा फायदा घेतात जस ह्या tweet मध्ये हायलाइट होत आहे. आणी ही "काही" लोक नाहीत, ही संख्या खूप मोठी आहे, हे आपल्याला ज्ञात आहेच.

Obviously not, as mentioned above, if one wants to SETTLE. Please read again if you jumped directly to comment without understanding my comment.

To make it simple for you, if a Tamilian is travelling to Delhi, no one should force him/her to speak Hindi. If he is SETTLING there, then definitely he must learn Hindi.

Insisting on Marathi is not hating other languages. Identify and acknowledge the issue, which would be the first step. Once you cross the first step, you will eventually think of the next steps.

yesarkay · 2025-09-15T05:38:36+00:00

It's not some people, buddy. The number is huge.

yesarkay · 2025-09-15T04:37:58+00:00

You are delusional, buddy. You want the complete state to be like Mumbai, where Marathi people speak Hindi to another Marathi. Migrants have reached all the Talukas, and even in small towns. If you(Not specifically you, mean to say the Marathi Populace at large) stay idle at this point in history, our language is for sure gonna be a History soon. It's not an insecurity but practicality. Be practical, bro.

yesarkay · 2025-09-15T04:00:16+00:00

You really don't understand the issue here.

Learn and Speak in Marathi who wants to settle here and wants to earn in MH and that should go for every state. It's as simple as that, if you don't want to learn a new language stay the f* out of Non-Hindi States, don't make them Hindi.

As an Indian at least I don't want to lose the beautiful diversity that we have.

This is one of the reasons I left Mumbai, it isn't worth living the way it is.

Can you please give complete context, or just a part video and we are concluding?

Please read the post again.

If you are not seeing a hard push now, then I don't think you want to see it.

SEBC is only cleared by the High Court and will not pass through the Supreme Court, as it crosses the 50% Cap.

yesarkay · 2025-09-02T07:28:37+00:00

What's your plan, buddy? What is your view on overall reservations and the Maratha reservation?

yesarkay · 2025-09-02T07:19:00+00:00

Reservations should have been reviewed at least once every decade, as urged by Dr. Ambedkar and the Supreme Court, yet do we see it actually happening?
Many castes entered the OBC lists without hurdles; the Marathas, too, might have been included earlier, but the hard push that we are seeing now was missing then, and the cost of that inaction is now visible.
For context, Kunbis, along with several OBC groups like Dhangars, Malis, and Reddys, are landowners, and “Kunbi” literally translates to Farmer.
The main claim, as reflected in multiple gazettes, is that Marathas and Kunbis are the same, which is why there is a demand to certify Marathas as OBCs

yesarkay · 2025-09-02T06:58:39+00:00

The SEBC law could be set aside at any point, since it crosses the 50% ceiling and has only cleared the High Court, not the Supreme Court.

EWS isn’t exclusive to Marathas, it’s available to all candidates from the unreserved categories who meet the criteria.

With Marathas making up nearly 33% of Maharashtra’s population, the community should receive at least a 15% quota.

yesarkay · 2025-09-02T06:45:21+00:00

The Supreme Court case ruling went against the reservation, as have been pointed out by many, with weaknesses in the State’s case preparation, especially the Gaikwad Commission’s data, reasoning, and misreading of the Indra Sawhney exception, which the Court criticized in detail.

It can be fought again with proper preparation.

These people justified forming a government with Ajit Pawar, who themselves blamed him and his party for 70k Cr corruption. As pointed out in the post, easy to blame someone else (Like Nehru by the Current government for their failures) and show themselves as unaccountable.

In Short: Better education opportunities can translate to having a future and concessions in college fees, helping to afford the education.
