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 protest followed an amended government order last week mandating Hindi generally as the third language in Marathi- and English-medium schools under the NEP's three-language formula.
  • Uddhav Thackeray accused the BJP of imposing a 'language emergency' to divide people linguistically, while the government maintained Hindi is optional and Marathi remains compulsory.
  • Sharad Pawar welcomed the Thackerays' unity for the Marathi cause and stressed the importance of mother tongues amid 55% of India's population speaking Hindi.
  • The protests and political tensions highlight continued concerns over regional identity and call for reconsideration of Hindi's role in Maharashtra’s school curriculum.
