On Wednesday (June 18, 2025), a fresh stir broke out because the Maharashtra government issued a new command stating that Hindi would be “generally” the third language in Marath and English secondary schools from classes 1 to 5.
According to the amended Government Resolution (GR) issued on Tuesday (June 17, 2025), Hindi will be the third language in Marathi and English secondary schools for class 1 to 5; However, students could choose from other Indian languages on the site of Hindi. .
“However, the class number of students who learn a different language as a third language should be at least 20. If at least 20 students express their desire to learn another language instead of Hindi, the teacher will be available to teach this language, otherwise the language will be taught online.
Congress President Maharashtra Harshwardhan Sapkal criticized Mahayuti’s government for imposing Hindi on the state through the three language model and accusing the main Minister of Devel Fadnavis of Backstabbing Marathi. “It is a betrayal and a huge mistake. Mr. Fadnavis has to apologize and correct it because it is an attack on the language of Marathi and his goal is to complete the Maharashtra culture,” he said.
Referring to the GR said: “Minimum 20 student criteria are a show of alternative and planned conspiracy to store Hindi and eliminate marathi language, identity and people.” He argued that Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde-Jewish Shiv Sena, who holds the Ministry of Education, is trying to kill Marathi as stabbed by the undistributed shiv hay. The “agenda” One Nation, One Language, One Culture “RSS and BJP increased to the core of Maharashtra and will not sit quietly until it is rejected,” Mr. Sapkal said, adding that this was a direct struggle between Shivaji Maharaj Swwaj and Bjp’s Hindutva.
Meanwhile, Mahashrashtra Chief Navnirman hay (MNS) and nephew Bal Thackery, Raj Thackey, claimed that the lobby of the northern Indian IAS is behind Hindi’s storage in the Maharashtrain of the educational system. He asked, “Why is Hindi in Mahari mandatory, when PM Narendra Modi and BJP leader AMIT Shah do not store in their home state, gujarat? Without discussing the public, the government is trying to implement this policy.
Mr. Thaccery, whose central board of his policy was the promotion of Marathi and Marathi Manoos, wrote a letter to Mr. Fadnavis and pointed out that the government had found a gap, despite the massive resistance.
In April, the Maharashtra School Education Department announced that Hindi as the third language for students in Marathi and secondary schools will be compulsory for classes 1 to 5. After political resistance, leader and minister of education, Shiv Dada Bhus announced that Hindi would no longer be compulsory.
The Lotstful advocates the decision.
Main Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday (June 18, 2025) prevented this decision and said, “What is bad about learning one of India’s most spoken languages?”
