Why should only rickshaw-wallas learn Marathi?
Mumbai has Parsi colonies, Jain societies, Gujarati areas, Muslim areas, Tam-Brahm population... where I can promise you, a lot of people can't speak Marathi to save their life.
Migrants also work in corporate houses, banks, media, start-ups etc. Mumbai is a financial magnet and people from all over the country come here for work. Is Marathi not equally important for them as it is for UP-Bihar migrants?
You think these language warriors can walk into a Big-4 and round up senior managers / directors, and throw them out if they fail to speak Marathi?
Hushyari is always shown against the gareeb, because he can't fight back.
They will thrash rickshaw-wallahs in public, and no one will bat an eye. They will throw stones at their vehicles and cause huge damages but no one will file a case. They collect hafta from them, humiliate them, but they still keep at it for their families.
If they took panga with the rich in Mumbai, cases will be filed, political funding could get hampered, vote banks will be affected. So they show their might and dadagiri against the weak.
In a country where jobs are scarce, driving a rickshaw is one job where you just need an able body and a license. Language has never been a barrier either for the driver or the commuter to get from point A to B in Mumbai. I have lived all my life in this city.
But to create a made-up barrier out of nowhere and deny people jobs in a job scarce country, is exactly the kind of stupid and moronic thinking that could only come out of India.
May bhagwan give us some sadbuddhi.
study calculus.
not because you need to pass an exam.
because calculus teaches you how the world changes.
• derivatives → how fast something is changing right now
• integrals → how tiny changes accumulate into something larger
• differential equations → how systems evolve through time
• partial derivatives → how one variable changes inside a system with many moving parts
• gradients → which direction changes something fastest
• optimization → finding the best solution under constraints
then connect it to reality.
• velocity is the derivative of position.
• acceleration is the derivative of velocity.
• energy can be accumulated through integration.
• control systems are built around changing states.
• neural networks learn using gradients.
• physics is full of differential equations.
don’t memorize calculus as a collection of formulas.
draw it. simulate it. derive it. write code for it. connect it to motion and physical systems.
calculus becomes beautiful when you stop seeing x and y.
and start seeing change.
If someone is adamant that they'll not learn at all, that's wrong. But to learn a new language as an adult is hard. and people have other stuff to do. Maharashtra is no better than the south indian states honestly in these terms. personal experience.
