Paean To the People of Maharashtra...!!!

On a recent visit by a friend, who currently lives in Pune, I have had the chance to experience the feelings of the people of Maharashtra waking up to the dignity of their race, their language, their Motherland and of course, to the essence of being a proud Maratha.

Whenever a Maratha is ill treated—I am told—he simply asserts, “How do you say such things to me..? I am a Marathi (in Marathi).”

Self assertion comes only through dignity one earns by restoring one’s Mother tongue to its glory; it’s because you can change your religion, your dress, your eating habits, and sometimes even your country but you can never change your mother tongue; your Nationality, which is borne by your Mother tongue.

So if You need to survive as a race, you need to assert yourself in the place which historically, culturally and politically belongs to you. Mother tongue is the Flag; and you the flagstaff...both inseparable.

It is another thing what the rest of India might say—to me they are Heroes, who deserve a following by any self respecting race that seeks to assert its right to self-determination and total uplift of its people; but there are others who think they are chauvinists far removed from the letter and spirit of our Constitution.

But we have to remember that constitution of a country is made in keeping with the times and ethos of extant socio-political realities of a country and which by all means is subject to revision and amendments justifying it with the need of changing times and socio-political realities in question. The plain logic is that People are not made for Ideals (political, social, religious so on & so forth) but the opposite.

Akhanda Bangla Anushilon Samiti its solidarity with the people of Maharashtra in their rightful claim to their motherland against outsiders, against political, cultural and economical supremacy of non-Marathas in Maharashtra.

Akhanda Bangla Anushilon Samiti condemns all domination in the name of industrialization, economic development and equal opportunity and thereby unlawful deprivation of common Marathas in their own land.
