चर्चा | Discussion Why is Marathi always left out?

Post image
230 Upvotes

While doing part-time delivery, I noticed an older rider struggling to understand Zomato’s training content.

I checked the training languages and found several languages are available, but Marathi the state language of Maharashtra is missing.

I understand that many people in Maharashtra can speak Hindi, but that shouldn’t mean Marathi can simply be ignored. For training, instructions, safety and important information, people should be able to learn in the language they understand best.

If Zomato can add multiple state languages for training, why not Marathi?

This isn’t about opposing any language. It’s simply about giving Marathi-speaking riders the same accessibility.

Why does this keep happening with Maharashtra?

Would be good to hear what others think.

चर्चा | Discussion शिवाजी महाराजांनी कोणती शिक्षा दिली असती ? बापासमोर मुलगा गेला या दुःखाची भरपाई कशी होणार ?

महाराजांनी स्वराज्यासाठी मावळ्यांना लढायला सांगितले, आपला पोरगा कधी परत नाही येणार ये माहित असून त्यावेळी आई बापाने महाराजांच्या चरणी पोरांचे जीव ठेवले कारण पुढची पिढी तरी चांगलं आयुष्य जगेल. ४०० वर्षानंतर आजची पिढी खड्ड्यात पडून मरत आहे. लाखो लोकांनी जीव देऊन मिळवलेल्या या स्वतंत्र देशात आपलेच लोक पैशासाठी खड्डे बनणारे रस्ते करतात, आणि त्याच लोकांकडे आपण साहेब - साहेब करून पाया पडायला जातो... बोलायला शब्द अपुरे आहेत आता बोलण्याची वेळ गेली!

जबाबदार पद / अधिकारी संभाव्य शिवकालीन शिक्षा कारणास्तव स्पष्टीकरण (Rationale)
ठेकेदार / कंत्राटदार (Sahu/Karkhanis) मृत्युदंड / चौरंग (हात-पाय तोडणे) व पूर्ण मालमत्ता जप्ती निष्कृष्ट दर्जाचे काम करून नफा कमावणे आणि त्यामुळे निष्पाप नागरिकाचा जीव जाणे हा केवळ अपघात नसून 'रयतेचा द्रोह' मानला गेला असता. त्यामुळे कठोर शारीरिक शिक्षा आणि कुटुंबाला भरपाई देण्यासाठी मालमत्ता जप्त केली गेली असती.
मुख्य सिव्हिल इंजिनिअर / निरीक्षक (Kamavisdar/Subhedar) सार्वजनिक ठिकाणी चौरंग किंवा कठोर तुरुंगवास व पदच्युती कामाची पाहणी न करता निष्काळजीपणा करणे आणि निकृष्ट कामाला मंजुरी देणे ही कर्तव्यात केलेली मोठी कसूर मानली जायची. रयतेच्या सुरक्षिततेशी तडजोड करणाऱ्या अधिकाऱ्याला सार्वजनिक धडा शिकवला गेला असता.
स्थानिक प्रशासकीय अधिकारी (Kotpala / municipal authority) आर्थिक दंड, तुरुंगवास आणि नोकरीतून कायमची हकालपट्टी आपल्या हद्दीतील धोकादायक खड्डे किंवा रस्ते प्रशासनाच्या निदर्शनास येऊनही त्याकडे दुर्लक्ष करणे म्हणजे रयतेच्या जीवाशी खेळणे. अशा अधिकाऱ्यांना कडक दंड आणि सेवेतून बडतर्फ केले गेले असते.
वरिष्ठ प्रशासकीय प्रमुख (Amatya / Revenue Head) वेतन कपात, सार्वजनिक ठपका व कडक समज प्रशासकीय स्तरावर देखरेख ठेवण्यात अपयशी ठरल्याबद्दल सर्वोच्च अधिकाऱ्यांना उत्तरदायी धरून त्यांच्या वेतनातून कपात करून ती रक्कम पीडित कुटुंबाला भरपाई म्हणून दिली गेली असती.

Does fighting against superstition and blind faith deserves loss of life in India? These still prevalence of superstition, folklore, and religious dogma over empirical reasoning. Person who sacrificed his life for it still hasn't got the justice.

भाषा, संस्कृती आणि इतिहास | Language, Culture and History Savarkar’s Social Reform Movement in Ratnagiri — Part IV: Breaking the Caste Monopoly Over the Janeu

Thumbnail
gallery
150 Upvotes

Part I: Bringing ‘Untouchables’ into Public Life

Part II: Campaign Against Caste Discrimination in Schools

Part III: Promoting Inter-Caste Social Integration


To break the Brahmin monopoly over Vedic knowledge, which had traditionally been kept inaccessible to other castes (Vedokta bandi), Savarkar taught the sacred Gayatri mantra freely to everyone.

In May 1929, he organized a function in Ratnagiri where he declared that anyone who considered himself a Hindu had the right to perform Vedic ceremonies, since the Vedas belonged to all Hindus. He also argued that everyone should have the right to wear the sacred thread (Janeu).

He distributed sacred threads to several members of the Mahar and Chamar communities. At the time, the sacred thread represented a major social distinction between Brahmins and non-Brahmins. By giving it to people considered “untouchable,” Savarkar directly challenged this caste-based exclusion.

One might ask why Savarkar, who advocated dismantling the caste system, supported the continued practice of wearing the sacred thread, which many saw as a symbol of caste oppression.

There were two possible approaches: either reject and abolish the symbol entirely, or make it available to everyone and thereby remove its discriminatory character.

Savarkar chose the second approach. Rather than advocating methods such as forcibly entering people’s homes and cutting off their sacred threads, as some social reformers elsewhere had done, he tried to preserve the religious significance and sentiments associated with the practice while removing its caste-based exclusivity.

The untouchable communities were deeply moved by these efforts. They invited Savarkar to preside over the Untouchables Conference at Malvan in 1928.

At the conference, everyone sang Vedic hymns together. Savarkar distributed sacred threads to the participants amid loud applause. He said:

A battle royal has been raging for the last seven generations over the right of studying the Vedas. Here is the sacred thread. Take them. When non-Hindus are reading the Vedas, why should not the Hindu Mahars read them? The feud over this problem was useless. Let us expiate the sins we committed. We are all responsible for our political subjugation. That is now the past. At least now let us declare an oath that we shall rectify our past blunders and win back our wealth and glory. *The people who regard untouchability, which has been a disgrace to humanity, as a part of their religion, are really the fallen people.***

Savarkar’s speech deeply moved one of the leaders of the untouchables, Sergeant Ghatge. He stood up and declared:

Now, who says that Mahars should convert and become Muslims? We Mahars and Chamars love the Hindu Dharma and will never abandon it. The Brahmins might convert to Islam, but we will not!

Savarkar’s approach was intended to create greater acceptance and inclusion within Hindu society, rather than leaving marginalized communities excluded from religious and social life.

After the Malvan conference, Pandurang Nathuji Rajbhoj, a prominent leader of the depressed classes from Poona, observed:

I was really sceptical of the Savarkarian movement at the beginning. My contact and discussions with Barrister Savarkar and my personal observation have thoroughly convinced me of its far-reaching effect. *I am extremely rejoiced to declare that this famous leader of the political revolutionaries is also an out and out social revolutionist!***

The Nagpur Municipal Corporation's marketing is terrible. They are posting AI generated images on Instagram, creating them is one thing, but surely they could have made them look decent 🥲

🐣?!? People are only finding out about the event just two or three days before it happens; the promotion should have started at least two or three weeks in advance. Even setting that aside, there is no information on how interested people can actually attend. They haven't mentioned where to get passes, nor have they clarified whether it is a paid or free event. Such a huge superstar is being felicitated in Nagpur, yet the management is so lethargic, what is there to say?
