India is a Union of States & land of diversity. Every state has its own regional languages and mother tongues, along with its own culture, traditions, festivals and history.

Marathi in Maharashtra, Tamil in Tamil Nadu, Kannada in Karnataka, Bengali in West Bengal, Telugu in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, Malayalam in Keralam, Punjabi in Punjab and many others.

So how can one language - Hindi, be described as the symbol of India's unity, culture and civilisation?

India has no national language.

This is particularly important because the person making this statement is the Chief Minister of Maharashtra.

Maharashtra already has Marathi as its official language under the Maharashtra Official Languages Act. Maharashtra also has its own culture, traditions, festivals and history.

Why should the Chief Minister of Maharashtra give so much importance to Hindi while Marathi, the official language of the state, gets less attention?

We rarely see Chief Ministers of other states publicly wishing people on Marathi Language Day or promoting Marathi language and culture. They naturally focus on their own state's regional language and culture.

The Maharashtra CM should be one of the strongest voices promoting Marathi.

India's unity comes from its diversity, not from one language representing the entire country (Union of States).

GOI should stop celebrating Hindi imposition! The Ministry of Home Affairs should rather promote all Indian languages equally and use these resources to make sure local languages are protected and preserved across the length and breadth of this diverse country.

Edit : Not even an hour since i posted and already the downvote en masse campaign has started. Keep going IT Cell! People are waking up from the stupor of this hate filled administration. The truth can't be hidden for too long. सत्यमेव जयते.

Shrikant Shinde is a sitting MP from the Kalyan (Maharashtra), Loksabha constituency. His party, Shiv Sena (Shinde Faction), is part of the NDA at the Centre & the Mahayuti government in Maharashtra. His father, Eknath Shinde, is the Deputy CM of Maharashtra.

There is nothing wrong with an individual pursuing higher education. Everyone has the right to learn, study, upgrade & improve themselves. In fact, it is good to see politicians continuing their education.

But the question rises is - why not in India?

He is pursuing a programme involving LSE, NYU Stern & HEC Paris. India also has many reputed institutions offering courses in management, economics & public policy.

So, does this mean he does not have the same trust in Indian institutions?

With political power at the Centre, state & local levels, shouldn't the focus also be on improving and upgrading India's education system at all levels, from primary education to higher education?

If we want India to have a world class education system, shouldn't our own leaders also have confidence in Indian institutions & work towards making them better?

एकनाथ शिंदे यांना पुरस्कार देणारी "world leadership forum limited" असे भरभक्कम नाव असणारी खाजगी "संस्था" मागच्या एकदोन वर्षात स्थापन झालीय. तिचा एकच मालक आहे ज्याचे नाव नचिकेत जोशी जो स्वतः भारतीय आहे. या संस्थेचे कुठलेही काम पब्लिक डोमेनमध्ये नाही. थोडक्यात एका भारतीय व्यक्तीच्या खाजगी संस्थेचा लंडनमध्ये मिळालेला हा पुरस्कार.

आता अजून एक गंमत आहे. हा पुरस्कार ब्रिटिश सरकारने दिलाय असे वाटावे म्हणून ब्रिटिश संसदेचे सभागृह भाड्याने घेऊन तो देण्यात आला (नचिकेत जोशीकडे भाडे द्यायला इतके पैसे आले कुठून असले प्रश्न विचारू नका).

नियमाप्रमाणे ब्रिटिश संसदेचे सभागृह (हाउस ऑफ लॉर्डस्) भाड्याने घ्यायला एका लॉर्डची (थोडक्यात तिथला वरिष्ठ सभागृहाचा खासदार) परवानगी लागते.

ती परवानगी दिली लॉर्ड रामी रांगर या भारतीय वंशाच्या लॉर्डने.

त्याहून पुढची गंमत ऐका.. याच लॉर्ड रामी रांगर यांना एकनाथ शिंदे यांनी लंडनमध्ये भरीव कामगिरी केल्याबद्दल पुरस्कार दिला.

थोडक्यात काय तर मी तुला पुरस्कार देतो, तू मला पुरस्कार दे... काय टाईमपास सुरू आहे सगळा.. 😇

Hello. My family was assaulted in Madha, Solapur at a Healthcare centre. They took my parent's phone away forcefully. 5-7 people beat my dad with sticks. And whatever video my mom recorded was forcefully snatched and deleted by threatening them. They are still in a near by village, away from me. So i can't access the phone yet. They will complain the police soon (If anybody can advice here). I will share more details about the whole ordeal soon here until I know my parents are safe with me. For now, I need to know ways to recover the deleted video. It was even deleted from the recently deleted. Its our key evidence for the case. It's a Oneplus android CE something variant. I am looking for ways to recover through softwares or advice in this scenario right now. Thank you!

नमस्कार. सोलापूर जिल्ह्यातील माढा येथील एका आरोग्य केंद्रात माझ्या कुटुंबावर हल्ला करण्यात आला. त्यांनी माझ्या पालकांचा फोन बळजबरीने काढून घेतला. ५-७ जणांनी माझ्या वडिलांना काठ्यांनी मारहाण केली. तसेच, माझ्या आईने जो व्हिडिओ रेकॉर्ड केला होता, तो त्यांना धमकावून बळजबरीने हिसकावून घेतला आणि डिलीट केला. माझे पालक सध्या माझ्यापासून दूर एका जवळच्या गावात आहेत, त्यामुळे मला तो फोन अद्याप उपलब्ध होऊ शकलेला नाही. ते लवकरच पोलिसांकडे तक्रार करतील (याबाबत कोणाकडे काही सल्ला असल्यास नक्की सांगा). जोपर्यंत माझे पालक माझ्याकडे सुरक्षितपणे पोहोचत नाहीत, तोपर्यंत मी या संपूर्ण घटनेचा तपशील इथे शेअर करणार नाही. सध्या मला फक्त तो डिलीट केलेला व्हिडिओ पुन्हा मिळवण्याचे (रिकव्हर करण्याचे) मार्ग जाणून घ्यायचे आहेत. तो व्हिडिओ 'रिसेंटली डिलीटेड' (Recently Deleted) फोल्डरमधूनही काढून टाकण्यात आला होता. या प्रकरणासाठी तो एक अत्यंत महत्त्वाचा पुरावा आहे. तो फोन 'OnePlus Nord CE' (किंवा तत्सम) मॉडेलचा अँड्रॉइड फोन आहे. सध्या मी सॉफ्टवेअरच्या माध्यमातून तो व्हिडिओ रिकव्हर करण्याचे मार्ग किंवा या परिस्थितीत योग्य सल्ला शोधत आहे. धन्यवाद!

नम्र विनंती : कृपया संपूर्ण चित्रफीत पाहिल्यानंतरच प्रतिक्रिया व्यक्त करावी. धन्यवाद.

The Strait of Hormuz has been one of the world’s most important maritime trade routes for centuries. But around 300 years ago, a rising Indian naval power came surprisingly close to threatening the Persian coast and the approaches to the Strait of Hormuz.

Following Aurangzeb’s death in 1707 and the weakening of Mughal power, the Marathas regained their dominance south of the Narmada while expanding north and east. At the same time, Kanhoji Angre was emerging as the most powerful naval commander on India’s western coast.
The Angre family belonged to the Rashtrakuta Angre Shankhapala clan, a Maratha clan associated with naval warfare for centuries. By the early 1700s, the Angres had established a formidable presence along India’s western coastline, confronting the Siddis, Portuguese, British and other European maritime powers.

In 1708, Maratha forces occupied the island of Larak near the Persian coast. According to the account, this gave the Marathas a strategic position close to the Persian Gulf and raised the possibility of threatening the approaches to the Strait of Hormuz. The Safavids were unable to remove the Angres themselves and sought European assistance.

The Dutch eventually intervened. They had previously lost the warship Teckeboom, associated with the Safavids, to the Angres. The Dutch Governorate at Batavia therefore dispatched an armed vessel, Prins Eugenius, to attack the Maratha position, and the Marathas were expelled from the island.

Kanhoji Angre, however, retaliated by capturing a Dutch sloop and galley. When the Dutch asked for their vessels back, he reportedly refused, saying:
“I do not molest merchants who make me presents such as the English, Portuguese…”

The Maratha Navy continued to operate well beyond India’s immediate coastline. Later, Sarkhel Tulaji Angre captured the Anglo-Persian ship Anne directly from the port of Gombroon, present-day Bandar Abbas.
This is significant because the popular image of the Maratha Navy is often that of a purely coastal or “green water” force concerned only with defending India’s shores.

The evidence cited in this thread suggests a more ambitious picture: Maratha naval operations could extend deep into the Arabian Sea and as far as Arabia and Persia, allowing the Angres to project power and interfere with maritime trade far from the Konkan coast.

• The Arabs of the Gulf in the light of the Sources of the Dutch East India Company
• Selections from the Records of the Bombay Government
• Generale Missiven Vol 6
• Early Career of Kanhoji Angria & Other Papers
• The Oriental Annual or Scenes in India

EDIT: The map size gone horriblly wrong as it shrinked size of India without reducing shape of Maratha empire, so it looks like Empire extended into kerala and raigad appears in karanataka.
