Abstract

The article focuses on Uddhav Thackeray, the chief of Shiv Sena (UBT), addressing the withdrawal of government resolutions to introduce Hindi as a compulsory language alongside Marathi and English for early education in Maharashtra. Thackeray emphasized the unity of the Marathi people in opposing the imposition of Hindi, stating that their collective strength led to this decision. He announced plans for a victory rally on July 5 to celebrate this achievement and highlighted the importance of maintaining unity among Marathi speakers across political lines. Thackeray also criticized the government's previous attempts to create divisions among the Marathi population and affirmed that the movement was not against the Hindi language itself, but against coercion.
