Matter is closed, Hindi can't be forced: Uddhav on scrapping of 3-language policy
A day after the Maharashtra government withdrew its government resolutions on three-language formula, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Monday welcomed the move and added that even though a committee has been formed to look into the matter, it is closed. Thackeray also said that the victory rally, which is to be held July 5, will be carried out by the Opposition under a common flag. Speaking outside Vidhan Bhavan on the first day of the monsoon session, Thackeray slammed the government over its move on the three-language formula and said that the July 5 rally will celebrate the collective pushback against the Hindi imposition. 'Even with a committee now formed under Dr Narendra Jadhav, the matter is closed. Hindi cannot be forced on Maharashtra,' he said, questioning the relevance of appointing economists to decide on education policy. MNS chief Raj Thackeray also confirmed his participation in the rally, cautioning against political branding. 'Don't label this morcha with any party. Language protects culture. If Marathi disappears, so will our identity,' he said. The rally — likely to be held at Shivaji Park, NSCI Dome, or Nesco grounds — is being positioned as a show of Marathi unity beyond party lines. Sena (UBT) leaders are in the process of securing permissions, keeping monsoon logistics in mind, a source in the two parties said. Thackeray claimed that workers from the BJP, Shinde Sena, and Ajit Pawar's NCP were also ready to join the protest had the GR not been revoked. 'The government failed in creating a Marathi vs non-Marathi divide. July 5 will reflect that unity,' he said.

Analysis - Hindi Row: D Fadnavis' Masterstroke Or Thackeray Brothers' Win?
The withdrawal of the government resolution regarding the teaching of Hindi in Maharashtra's primary schools is being viewed differently across the state's political spectrum. For over two weeks, political opposition to the resolution had been gathering momentum, with protests set to culminate in a march in South Mumbai. However, the Devendra Fadnavis government appears to have defanged the opposition by withdrawing the resolution a week before the planned march. For the uninitiated, the controversy erupted last month when the Maharashtra government issued a resolution to comply with the Three-Language Formula as per the Union government's new education policy. According to the resolution, students from classes one to four would have to study Hindi as the default third language if there were not enough students to study other languages. Raj Thackeray, the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief, was the first to object, alleging that it was a subtle ploy to impose Hindi on Maharashtra. Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) also announced its opposition. Last week, both Raj and Uddhav Thackeray announced separate events to protest; however, they later decided to participate in a single protest march from Girgaon to Azad Maidan. On Sunday, Mr Fadnavis announced that the resolution had been withdrawn and a committee would be formed to devise a new formula. Many political pundits believe this is a masterstroke by Mr Fadnavis, as he has robbed the opposition of a key issue ahead of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) polls. Had the government not softened its stance, say critics, the MNS and Shiv Sena (UBT) could have capitalised on the issue significantly. However, Raj and Uddhav Thackeray portray the decision as their victory. Their supporters claim that the Fadnavis government's adamant approach could have alienated Marathi voters. There are also whispers in Maharashtra's political corridors that the entire protest was a "fixed match" between the BJP and the MNS. This suspicion arose because, before the MNS announced its protest, a closed-door meeting took place between Fadnavis and Raj Thackeray at Hotel Taj Lands End in Mumbai. Some suspect the resolution was deliberately issued to allow the MNS to revive its political relevance by protesting against it. A revived MNS could dent Shiv Sena (UBT)'s vote bank if a truce between the Thackeray cousins does not materialise.

SSC schools in a spot as new timetable is disrupted
Mumbai: The state govt's decision to revoke both of its resolutions on the introduction of Hindi as a third language in primary schools has triggered widespread confusion across SSC board-affiliated schools in the city. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now A timetable, circulated by the govt on June 18 to accommodate the new language structure, is now deemed invalid. The sudden reversal has left educators in a state of uncertainty, unsure of how to proceed with the upcoming academic sessions. Teachers said they started the academic year two weeks ago, and now need to adjust the timetable again. "We had just started making extensive preparations for the new timetable that included three languages, as instructed by the govt," said a vice-principal of a city school. "Now we have to rework everything from scratch. There were no textbooks or guidelines on how to teach Hindi using the play-way method, so we couldn't even implement the new timetable properly. And without a formal communication or fresh resolution from the state, we simply don't know what to do. " The confusion is not limited to city schools. A schoolteacher from Uran noted, "We hadn't begun any preparations for the new timetable. We're continuing with last year's curriculum since we haven't received any training or new teaching materials." A principal from Khar highlighted the impact on non-academic subjects. "In order to accommodate the third language, the govt had initially reduced periods allocated to art and sports. Now, with the plan scrapped, we are simply readjusting by putting those periods back into the schedule." With no official communication following the latest govt decision, schools across the state remain in limbo, caught between old plans and rescinded policies. Educators said this constant back-and-forth was disrupting learning and creating unnecessary stress for teachers, students, and parents. —Mahiya Patel
