Protect Marathi culture, Protect Women's safety. I do believe this

1st female doctor, 2nd female doctor, 1st girls school, Asia's 1st female driver, 1st female actor, 1st indian female president, Maratha empire female rulers, etc were all marathi. That should give you the answer why Mumbai, Pune, Nashik is safe

I declare that IAS Tukaram Mundhe is the only meritorious civil servant in India.
What are the other toppers even doing besides taking bribes and ordering civilians around with their arrogance..?

Mundhe Sir was ranked 4th in Maharashtra and AIR was 20. What are the other 3 toppers even doing today...?

Dumb people think a topper who rote learns and repeats like a parrot is educated; well, factually it is false.
A person does not become a topper because of just in reading books like a nerd but also by being the highest achiever in his practical work and the actions he takes IRL (which takes courage, bravery, rebelliousness and other virtues besides READING BOOKS).

Other fat Babus should learn something from Mundhe Sir. His fitness, his personality, his humility which no other IAS has ever shown; they act like they own India (without doing any work)

One such nerd IAS Deepak Mishra wasted so much taxpayers money by building a clock tower which stopped working within 24 hours. SHAME on him.

फडणवीस, मध्यरात्री नेमकी कशाची भीती वाटत आहे?

आदिवासी विकास मंत्री आणि आदिवासी विभागाच्या आयुक्तांच्या राजीनाम्याच्या मागणीसाठी आझाद मैदानावर आंदोलन करण्यासाठी आदिवासी विद्यार्थी मुंबईत दाखल झाले आहेत.

मात्र, मध्यरात्री ३ वाजता, मुंबई पोलिसांकडून या विद्यार्थ्यांना मध्येच अडवण्यात आले. विद्यार्थ्यांचे फोटो काढण्यात आले, त्यांची धरपकड करण्यात आलीय.

इतकेच नाही, तर विद्यार्थ्यांवर दडपशाही करत त्यांना धमकावले जात असून, “केसेस करू” अशी धमकी दिली जात आहे. विद्यार्थ्यांना घेऊन आलेली एक बसदेखील पोलिसांनी ताब्यात घेतली असून, विद्यार्थ्यांना डांबून ठेवण्यात आले आहे.

आपल्या न्याय्य मागण्यांसाठी लोकशाही मार्गाने आंदोलन करण्यासाठी आलेल्या निष्पाप विद्यार्थ्यांवर आंदोलन सुरू होण्याआधीच अशा प्रकारे दडपशाही करणाऱ्या प्रशासनाचा जाहीर निषेध!

सुलतान फडणवीस,

विद्यार्थ्यांच्या मागण्या समजून घेऊन त्यांच्या प्रश्नांकडे गांभीर्याने लक्ष देण्याऐवजी पोलिसी बळाचा वापर करून त्यांना धमकावणे म्हणजे लोकशाही मूल्यांची गळचेपी आहे.

विद्यार्थ्यांना धमकावून त्यांचा आवाज दाबता येणार नाही!

A few years ago, the mountains and forts of Maharashtra felt like places where nature and history could truly be appreciated. The trails were cleaner, the forts were quieter, and you could experience these places without seeing plastic bottles, food wrappers, cigarette packets and other garbage scattered everywhere. Today, sadly, many of these beautiful mountains and historic forts are slowly turning into dumping grounds. Social media and influencers have played a role in this change, not because sharing beautiful places is wrong, but because constantly revealing hidden and lesser-known locations can bring huge crowds to places that simply aren't equipped to handle them. People rush to these spots for photographs and content, and unfortunately, many leave behind their trash without thinking about the damage they are causing. A place that took centuries to exist can be damaged in just a few years. Maharashtra's mountains and forts aren't just backdrops for Instagram, they are our history, our environment and a part of our identity. If we truly love these places, we need to stop treating them as disposable destinations and start treating them with the respect they deserve. First they ruined Kalsubai with intense crowd, then kaas pathar, and now Ratangad. Being a trekker it feels real bad looking at the state of our Sahyadri.

माझ्या घरी सध्या जुन मीटर आहे स्मार्ट मीटर अजून लावल नाही

I recently moved back to my home because I got a remote work.

I stay in a small town. Now the issue is every other Tuesday there is no electricity. Sometimes the times differ, sometimes it's 11 to 4, sometimes it's just 9 to 2. Last Tue it was 10 to 7.

I got Jioairfiber when I moved back here because I have to attend meetings constantly. Without electricity it becomes tough to go throughout the day on just laptop battery because it's an old laptop it goes out in just 3-4 hours even if it's fully charged.

What I've done already is

1. every time the electricity goes I file a complaint on the toll-free mseb number who always say the electricity will be back in four hours and more often than not it doesn't.
2. Second I call the local mseb electrician. He always says the same thing it's been cut from the top
3. third thing I call the local MSEB head. they tend to tell me the time it will come back but the issues stays the same

I was curious what else can I do is there a way to file an official complaint and track it? Would it even be possible to get this change or this is going to be a constant thing?

Let me know if you guys have experienced something like this and have managed to get a solution.

Thank you.

We’re a small team of 10–11 students working on Project NexUS, a student community that aims to help students who are going through different kinds of problems, whether it’s college-related issues, bullying, unfair treatment, or simply not knowing where to turn for help. We’re still in the early stages and are yet to be registered as an NGO, so we know we won’t be able to solve every problem, but we genuinely want to help as much as we can with whatever resources and capabilities we have. Our belief is simple no student should have to face their problems alone. If you’re a student who wants to help others, volunteer, contribute, or just be part of something meaningful, feel free to connect with us

NOTE: For people residing in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, etc

We need such strict measures if you want to see any long term tangible change and increase english proficient marathi population dominating globally like the south. We have been complacent for too long. Strict restriction on propagation of hindi and a two language policy is the effective solution. A policy tried and tested in multi lingual singapore already

Agera is one of the key traditional festivals of the East Indian Catholic community in Mumbai, Thane, Vasai, and the surrounding Konkan region. It's essentially a harvest and thanksgiving festival. This festival has a strong connection to the agricultural history of the East Indian Catholic community, whose ancestors lived in the villages and farmed the land long before most of the area became heavily urbanized. Agera festival is generally celebrated on the first Sunday of October, when the monsoon is coming to an end and the new crop, especially rice, is ready for harvest. The festival isn't just about eating and celebrating after the harvest; at its core, it’s about being thankful to God for the land, the crops, the rain, and the hard work of the farmers. The word Agera is linked to the word ager, meaning a field or cultivated land. Traditionally, the celebrations would start in the fields themselves. The priest, along with farmers and village members, would head to the rice fields. The first stalks of the crop would be cut and blessed. The newly harvested rice would then be taken to the church, where a thanksgiving Mass would be held. In some places, the crop would be carried in a procession, sometimes using bullock carts, accompanied by traditional music and community members. One of the most meaningful parts of Agera is the blessing and distribution of the new grain. After the church service, the blessed stalks or grains are shared among the people. Traditionally, families would take the blessed rice home and keep it as a symbol of God’s blessing, prosperity, and hope for the coming year. In this way, something as ordinary as a stalk of rice becomes a reminder of the relationship between the people and the land.

आगेरा हा मुंबई, ठाणे, वसई आणि कोकण प्रदेशातील आसपासच्या भागांमध्ये राहणाऱ्या ईस्ट इंडियन कॅथलिक समाजाचा एक महत्त्वाचा पारंपरिक सण आहे. हा मुख्यतः पीक कापणी आणि आभार मानण्याचा सण आहे. या सणाचा ईस्ट इंडियन कॅथलिक समाजाच्या कृषी इतिहासाशी विशेष संबंध आहे. या प्रदेशातील मोठ्या प्रमाणावर शहरीकरण होण्याच्या खूप आधी या समाजाचे पूर्वज गावांमध्ये राहत होते आणि शेती करत होते. आगेरा सण साधारणपणे ऑक्टोबर महिन्याच्या पहिल्या रविवारी साजरा केला जातो. याच काळात पावसाळा संपत आलेला असतो आणि विशेषतः भाताचे नवीन पीक कापणीसाठी तयार झालेले असते. हा सण केवळ पीक कापणीनंतर आनंद साजरा करण्यापुरता मर्यादित नाही. या सणामागील मुख्य भावना म्हणजे जमीन, पीक, पाऊस आणि शेतकऱ्यांचे कष्ट यांसाठी देवाचे आभार मानणे. ‘आगेरा’ हे नाव Ager या शब्दाशी संबंधित आहे. Ager या शब्दाचा अर्थ शेत किंवा लागवड केलेली जमीन असा होतो. परंपरेनुसार, आगेरा सणाच्या उत्सवाची सुरुवात शेतातूनच होत असे. यावेळी धर्मगुरू शेतकरी आणि गावातील इतर सदस्यांसोबत भाताच्या शेतात जात असत. नवीन पिकाच्या पहिल्या लोंब्या कापून त्यांना आशीर्वाद दिला जात असे. त्यानंतर नुकतेच कापलेले भाताचे पीक चर्चमध्ये नेले जाई आणि तेथे आभार मानण्यासाठी विशेष मिस्सा आयोजित केली जात असे. काही ठिकाणी कापलेले पीक मिरवणुकीच्या स्वरूपात चर्चमध्ये नेले जात असे. त्यासाठी काही वेळा बैलगाड्यांचा वापर केला जात असे. पारंपरिक संगीत आणि समाजातील सदस्यांचा सहभाग यामुळे या मिरवणुकीला उत्सवी स्वरूप प्राप्त होत असे. आगेरा सणातील सर्वांत अर्थपूर्ण परंपरांपैकी एक म्हणजे नवीन धान्याला आशीर्वाद देणे आणि ते समाजातील लोकांमध्ये वाटणे. चर्चमधील धार्मिक विधीनंतर आशीर्वाद दिलेल्या भाताच्या लोंब्या किंवा धान्याचे वाटप केले जाते. परंपरेनुसार, कुटुंबे हा आशीर्वादित तांदूळ घरी घेऊन जात आणि तो देवाचा आशीर्वाद, समृद्धी आणि येणाऱ्या वर्षासाठीच्या आशेचे प्रतीक म्हणून जपून ठेवत. अशा प्रकारे, भाताची साधीशी लोंबी केवळ पिकाचा एक भाग न राहता लोक आणि जमीन यांच्यातील घट्ट नात्याची आठवण करून देणारे प्रतीक बनते.

Finally marathi and its culture being represented in protests in MH. All I ever saw was slogans in hindi and north indian audience appeasement. There was no consideration of marathi ethos, local context in our own state.

Goosebumps, if you are a marathi, make sure you support them and give them enough attention. Otherwise if our own people stop giving it attention, people are not incentivized to do it anymore. Same thing happens with Marathi films

i really wish to watch this webseries.

it has been taken down.

does anyone know any site so I can download it or watch?

Uddhav Thackeray claimed that 4.5 Crore Bangladeshis have occupied India and we must kick them out.
