Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray has written a letter to state school education minister Dada Bhuse demanding that only two languages, Marathi and English, be taught from Class 1 in schools under the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education. In his letter, Thackeray cited the state government’s recent announcement, which proposed to include three languages ​​from Class 1, including Hindi as a compulsory third language.

Raj Thackeray expressed concern over this and said that despite this clarification, no formal government resolution or written instructions have been issued, resulting in confusion. He further informed that printing of Hindi textbooks has already started based on the earlier three-language decision. He cautioned that if the government returns to its previous stand in the future, it will have to take full responsibility for its consequences. In his letter, Thackeray has called upon the education department to issue a clear and official written order stating that only Marathi and English will be taught from Grade 1 onwards. He highlighted that several other Indian states have adopted a two-language policy and urged Maharashtra to follow suit.

What is the controversy?

Through his letter, Raj Thackeray has sought clarity from the state government about its proposed language policy in school education, stressing the need for a definite and transparent approach. Let us tell you that these days there is a controversy in Maharashtra regarding languages. People are being beaten up for not speaking Marathi every day. In such a situation, recently the state government announced to make three languages ​​compulsory in school education. However, when it started getting criticized, the state government clarified that English and Marathi will be taught in the state. At the same time, Hindi will not be compulsory as a third language. On this matter, Raj Thackeray has now written a letter to the state Education Minister Dada Bhuse.
