Thackeray Brothers Uddhav, Raj to Unite Against ‘Hindi Imposition’ in Maharashtra Schools, Lead March
- Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray announced they will jointly lead a protest march on July 5, 2025, opposing the Maharashtra government’s decision to introduce Hindi in classes 1 to 5 in state schools.

- The protests and political tensions highlight continued concerns over regional identity and call for reconsideration of Hindi's role in Maharashtra’s school curriculum.
