I live in city of pune, The Oxford of East, Detroit of East etc. I don't knnow since when the city started to buzz so tremeandously, but my stay in pune for last 2 years have gained good amount of experience. I met with lots of new people in company, who are from different cities, different states of India. The software buzz in Pune have attratced lots of people here. Pune has its own speciality, it has a good cliamte(though not so good now), nice envoirnment for families, old citizens, so people are ready to come here. Now Being a part of Maharashtra, after Mumbai, Pune becamethe multicultural, multilingual cosmopolition city rapidlly.
I met with my colleues in ofice daily, work with them, debate with them on issues like EPL, Cricket, movies. Now since Mr. Raj Thakare has stated that the UP-Bihari people have tiraded the Marathi culture ,& he has given good points & examples, lots of marathi people like me are in dileama while judging the non-marathi people. I am agree with the Raj Thakareji in many points like 'politicians of UP-Biharis have destroyed their states,they intentionally did not allow the states to be proressed' or 'Most of the non-marathi people are not intrested in learning marathi or communicate in marathi' 'They donot respect the marathi culture' ,or 'lots of migrant people live & earn illeaglyy'. So i am angry & frustrated in these facts that the people who earn their bread in Maharashtra are not respecting its culture & if try to concern them they behave arrogantly.
But on the other hand i am confused that , though this is a good issue, we have lots of other problems like poor electricity, poor infrastructure, poor management for water utlization, sucieds of farmers wheather the issue of migrants is that important. Yes it is totally wrong to under-estimate the natives but at the same time we should not look suspiciously at all the migrants.
When i prominantly start to speak marathi to other working marathi people like auto drivers, laundryman, hotel people, inspite of being marathi, they speak in hindi, eveni insist & continue with marathi, they are not that co-operative. you can easily live in maharshtra even if you don't understand marathi, this message is spread all over & thus people never copmlain of language problem. So while accusing migrants we also should pay equal attention to our own language.
This post itself indicates how confused I am!!!
