While the atmosphere is heated over the Marathi language, the grandson of the state's former Chief Minister Sushilkumar Shinde has also jumped into the fray. Former Chief Minister's grandson Shikhar Pahariya has expressed his opinion about the Marathi language. Let the Marathi language prosper with everyone's cooperation, not by threatening others. Such a post is currently going viral on social media, and his girlfriend Janhvi Kapoor has supported his statement by sharing the post.
While debates are ongoing across Maharashtra on the issue of Marathi, former Chief Minister Sushilkumar Shinde's grandson and famous actress Janhvi Kapoor's boyfriend Shikhar Pahadia has expressed his opinion about the Marathi language. "Let our Marathi language and its identity flourish with everyone's cooperation, not by threatening others. Do not use the Marathi language as a weapon to enrich it. Instead, preserve the existence of the language and protect it. The Marathi language should not cause division among anyone."
Wherever we are in India, we should take pride in our language. No prejudice should arise from this. The identity of Marathi is genuine. Being a Marathi person from Solapur, I certainly know about this. Not only Marathi, but every language shapes us and inspires us. Through various stories and poems, language brings about a kind of intellectual revolution. Our Marathi language is also like that. Therefore, like other languages, the Marathi language should be preserved. However, while doing this, we should not engage in actions that would harm the dignity of others. We should preserve our language by respecting everyone and taking them along."
"Many people from Solapur are living in Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata for work today. If they are also humiliated for language, think about how they would feel? How much trouble can these things cause them? It is not right to impose our language on those who work hard and are away from their families through injustice or violent means. The real tragedy is not that people speak Hindi, Tamil, or Gujarati. It is wrong to believe that the Marathi language is under threat. We cannot keep our language alive by threatening or scaring someone. Therefore, instead of threatening, scaring, or forcing everyone to preserve Marathi, take everyone along and move Marathi forward," Shikhar Pahadia expressed his feelings through such an emotional post.
Expressing respect for the Marathi language and how it should be preserved, Shikhar Pahadia posted on Instagram, which is seen to be going viral. Not only that, actress Janhvi Kapoor also publicly supported Shikhar's post by sharing it. Now, it is important to see what former Chief Minister Sushilkumar Shinde has to say about his grandson's post.
