These days, there is a controversy going on in Maharashtra regarding Hindi vs Marathi. Hindi speakers are being beaten up every day for not speaking Marathi. During the trailer launch of ‘Son of Sardar 2’, when a female journalist asked Ajay Devgan a question on this issue, the actor came into his Singham mode. Actually, during the question-answer round, a female journalist asks the actor that these days a lot is being talked about language in Maharashtra. Then Ajay interrupts her and says- ‘You are a little late. I was waiting for who will ask me this question.’ Then he continues his talk and says- ‘Regarding the ongoing controversy over language, I can only tell you this, aata majhi satkali.’ On seeing Ajay’s Singham avatar, everyone present there starts laughing. Many celebs have given their reaction It is worth noting that common citizens are openly giving their reaction on the ongoing controversy about Hindi vs Marathi. At the same time, some celebs are reacting to it and some are avoiding it. Recently, Shilpa Shetty and Sanjay Dutt were asked questions on this issue at the trailer launch event of ‘KD the Devil’, then both of them refused to talk on this issue. But Shilpa, calling herself a Maharashtra ki Mulgi, said – ‘Mala Marathi Yete.’ That is, I know Marathi. At the same time, singer Udit Narayan said on the Hindi vs Marathi issue – ‘I live in Maharashtra and this is my karmabhoomi. Because of this, the language here is important. Also, all the languages of the country are equally important.’ On this issue, singer Anup Jalota said, ‘Look, every language is very important in our country and we like Marathi very much. I also sing in Marathi. Hindi is the mother tongue of our country, so we have to speak it everywhere. But if we know other languages, then it is good for everyone. Learn other languages and speak them and speak your mother tongue Hindi.’ Why did the controversy start? Let us tell you that in April, Hindi was made compulsory as the third language for students from class 1 to 5 in Maharashtra. This decision was implemented on all Marathi and English medium schools in the state. Keeping in mind the new curriculum of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, a three-language policy was implemented for these classes in Maharashtra. However, after the controversy increased, updated guidelines were issued.
