Mumbai: Large scale violence had broken out in Sangli recently during the agitation of ‘Shiva Sanghatana’ organization in protest against the screening of the film ‘Jodha-Akbar’; however some antisocial elements took disadvantage of the agitation raised by the prominent social worker Pujya Bhide Guruji and started a fierce riot in which some innocent persons and students were unwittingly drawn. Maharashtra’s home minister Shri R.R. Patil today assured the house that the cases registered against the innocent persons and students would be withdrawn. Raising a point of order, Shri Arvind Sawant, Dr. Deepak Sawant and Dr. Neelam Gorhe of Shiv Sena had raised the issue of the democratic agitation of Pujya Bhide Guruji against the film ‘Jodha Akbar’ and the consequent riot that took place in Sangli, under rule 101. Taking part in the debate on the issue, Dr. Neelam Gorhe brought to the notice of the house that the arrogant police commissioner Shri. Krushna Prakash had used abusive language that ‘the farce of Sambhaji Bhide will not be allowed’ and had rained strikes of batons on Pujya Bhide mercilessly. He had also kicked the pedestal of statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. He also thrashed the orkers of Shiv Pratishthan ruthlessly. She demanded that strict action must be taken on the police officer and Pujya Bhide Guruji should be honoured by holding a dialogue with him in a meeting of MLAs of all-party.Replying the debate, home minister Shri. R.R. Patil said that the police commissioner was brought to Sangli despite his willingness. He performed his duties excellently and brought under control the anti-social activities of goons like gambling, matka, illicit liquor etc. This had led to increase in the revenue of the state transport corporation by Rs.2 crore. Therefore, the goons involved in illicit business were restless. They took advantage of the agitation of Pujya Bhide Guruji and brought about carnage and violence in the city. I have seen the video tape of the riot and the cases on the innocent persons and students will be withdrawn.” (Millions of people have seen on the channels how the police were thrashing Pujya Bhide Guruji with baton cruelly. Shri Patil avoided answer to what action he is going to take against the culprit police commissioner Shri Chanda Prakash and has thus deceived the people and insulted millions of Shivaji-bhaktas. – Editor)Shri. Patil added, “I have great respect for Pujya Bhide Guruji of ‘Shiv Pratishthan’. The incident in Sangli had made us hang our heads in shame and we indeed regret the incident. The report of the special director general of police who was appointed to probe the matter is in the last stage and as soon as the report is available, necessary action will be taken on those found guilty.” (But what is the use Mr. Patil's respect for Pujya Bhide Guruji? If same thing have happened with some Mulla or Maulavi, Mr. Patil would have suspended concerned Police Officer without any enquiry! - Editor)Source: ' Daily Sanatan Prabhat 'Also See» Protest against M.F.

the 15th most spoken language in world[3]. Along with Bengali, Marathi is the oldest of the regional literatures in Indo-Aryan languages, dating from about AD 1000.[7]

Marathi is estimated to be over 1300 years old, and it is evolved from Sanskrit through Prakrit and Apabhramsha. Its grammar and syntax derive from Pali[citation needed] and Prakrit. In ancient times, Marathi was called Maharashtri, Marhatti, Mahratti etc.

Peculiar features of Marathi linguistic culture include Marathi drama, with its unique flavour of 'Sangeet Natak' (musical dramas), scholarly discourses called 'Vasant Vyakhyanmala' (Lectures in Spring), Marathi folk
