‘Marathi me kuch aisa sikha do ki...': Man asks Grok how to escape MNS amid language row
'Marathi me kuch aisa sikha do ki, jaroorat padne par MNS waalon se bach ke nikal sakun,' Krishna, a non-Marathi speaking person, tweeted.
As netizens gathered to help Krishna with some basic Marathi phrases, one comment won the hearts of all.
Amid a sea of comments, Grok, the artificial intelligence assistant by xAI on X, had the perfect response for Krishna to use in a dire situation.
In a hilarious suggestion, Grok suggested a line in Marathi, saying that it'll help the X user escape MNS fury.
''MNS wale, mi tumcha fan aahe! Jai Maharashtra!' Yeh bolke nikal jaaoge,' Grok said.
Netizens loved the AI assistant's reply and asked what they should say in case the MNS workers asked them to say another line in Marathi. 'Agar wo dusra kuch bolne ko kahe to bole?' a user asked.
Without disappointing the curious netizens, Grok replied: 'Bhai, agar wo dusra kuch maange to bol: 'MNS chi shaan aahe tumhi! Mi tumcha supporter!''
'Yeh sunke khush ho jayenge. Jai Maharashtra!' the AI assistant added.
Grok also suggested users to use: 'MNS walo, mi tumchya barobar Maharashtra sathi ladnar aahe! (I'm ready to fight for Maharashtra with you!)'
'Grok bhaiya me to apka fan ho gaya,' said a netizen.
'Bhai (fire emojis)' added another.
A user said, 'Grok is just killing it in the AI space by giving such replies in such a manner.'
This comes amid an outrage caused by MNS activists thrashing a sweet shop owner in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region for not speaking Marathi.
In a separate incident on Saturday, MNS workers damaged the glass door of Mumbai-based share market investor Sushil Kedia's office in Worli after he declared he would not speak Marathi and dared the party chief Raj Thackeray.
The heightened tension over language reportedly occurred shortly after the Maharashtra government withdrew its orders on implementing the three-language policy in the state, which led to the opposition describing it as a 'Hindi imposition'.

‘Where did you learn English?': Trump's gaffe leaves president of English-speaking Liberia bemused
US President Donald Trump made a goof after he praised the Liberian President for his English-speaking skills. Netizens were left in splits since English is the official language of Liberia read more US President Donald Trump indulged in yet another gaffe after he lauded the English of the president of Liberia, a country where English is the official language. On Wednesday, Trump was basking in the praise of a group of African leaders, right when Liberian President Joseph Boakai took the microphone. 'Liberia is a longtime friend of the United States, and we believe in your policy of making America great again,' President Joseph Boakai said in English at a White House meeting before advocating for US investment in his country. 'We just want to thank you so much for this opportunity," he added. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Trump looked impressed by the Liberian president as he inquired where Boakai learned English from. 'Such good English, such beautiful …' Trump said. 'Where did you learn to speak so beautifully? Where were you educated?' Boakai was left amused by the assertion and chuckled since English is the official language of Liberia. 🚨BREAKING: In a completely embarrassing moment, Donald Trump told the Liberian President 'you speak such beautiful English…where did you learn to speak so beautifully' - even though English is the NATIONAL LANGUAGE OF LIBERIA. The world is watching America humiliate itself. 🤡 — CALL TO ACTIVISM (@CalltoActivism) July 9, 2025 When Trump pressed on his query, 'In Liberia?', Boakai simply answered: 'Yes, sir'. 'That's very interesting, that's beautiful English', Trump said. 'I have people at this table who can't speak nearly as well.' The video of the whole exchange went viral online, with people trolling Trump. Liberia, a colony for Black Americans It is pertinent to note that Liberia was founded back in 1822 as a colony for free Black Americans. At that time, it was seen as the brainchild of white Americans trying to address what they saw as a problem – the future for Black people in the US once slavery ended. While English is Liberia's first language, multiple Indigenous languages are spoken there as well. On Wednesday, Trump hosted the leaders from Gabon, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mauritania and Senegal at the White House, insisting that he is shifting the American approach to the continent. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD During the meeting, Trump emphasised to the African leaders that the United States is a better partner to Africa than China. During the meeting at the White House, many of the African leaders spoke their own languages through interpreters. Trump maintained that his administration was committed to strengthening friendships in Africa, which he hoped to visit at some point. 'We're shifting from aid to trade,' he said at the start of a White House meeting. 'There's great economic potential in Africa, like few other places. In many ways, in the long run, this will be far more effective and sustainable and beneficial than anything else that we can be doing together.' Meanwhile, African leaders lauded Trump for brokering peace deals around the world and expressed support for his receiving a Nobel Peace Prize. 'We are not poor countries. We are rich countries when it comes to raw materials. But we need partners to support us and help us develop those resources,' said Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema, president of Gabon. 'You are welcome to come and invest. Otherwise, other countries might come instead of you," he added. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD With inputs from Reuters.

Representative image NEW DELHI: India strongly demanded that the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) undertake a comprehensive investigation and global review of all maritime incidents involving foreign-flagged container vessels operating in Indian waters. It said these incidents, caused by undeclared hazardous cargoes, and structural and stability issues, have raised serious safety concerns.

Trump praises English-speaking Liberian Prez Boakai for his ‘English'; internet says ‘no sugar coating to his ignorance'
During a White House lunch with African leaders on Wednesday, Donald Trump praised Liberian President Joseph Boakai for his English-speaking skills — even though English is Liberia's official language. After Boakai gave brief remarks, Trump curiously asked where he had learned to speak English so well. He said, "Thank you, and such good English... Where did you learn to speak so beautifully? Where were you educated?" To this, Boakai indicated he had been educated in his native country. "In Liberia?" Trump asserted. "Yes sir," Boakai said. As he was facing away from the media, it was difficult to read his expression — but his brief, mumbled reply hinted at awkwardness. Despite his discomfort, Trump, who was surrounded by French-speaking presidents from other West African nations, kept digging. "It's beautiful English. I have people at this table can't speak nearly as well," he said. Boakai. a business graduate, can read and write in Mendi and Kissi but converses in Liberia's official tongue and lingua franca -- English. Liberia was founded in 1822 as a colony for free Black Americans, the brainchild of white Americans trying to address what they saw as a problem - the future for Black people in the United States once slavery ended. English is Liberia's official language, though multiple Indigenous languages are spoken there as well. The country has a diverse array of indigenous languages and a number of creolized dialects, while Kpelle-speakers are the largest single linguistic group. US engagement in Liberia began in the 1820s when the Congress- and slaveholder-funded American Colonization Society began sending freed slaves to its shores. (With inputs from Reuters and AFP)
