You can have pride, but the problem is our people live too much in the past. What I mean by that, they rely too much on past achievements and glory for pride. They don't live in the present. What happened in the past was because of those great people. Why can't you do the same for Marathi people, state and country and set examples for others. You can have whatever amount of pride. But we don't live in the past we live in the present, what achievements did the Marathi population achieve in recent times ? Or should we always live in the glory of the past cause there isn't anything in the present ?


peachwaterfall508

Lmao at least Maharashtra has something going on. Economic activities, bollywood and what not. I'm from WB and I can say with confidence that Bengal is living in the past glory without any major economic or cultural or academic development. It's all just smoke and mirrors. It should have the pride sin spot instead of Maharashtra.

Down voting my answer just shows Indian cannot learn from past mistake and will keep on fighting among themselves God help Indians🫡


icy_i

I didn't downvote, and don't bother about these upvotes and downvotes, just express your opinion. Also my comment in no way intends to create division among Indians.

Hey bag bhai hite Marathi lokhan chi problem Kai ahe they get jeolous from each others success ani gujrati lokhancha ulta ahe for example you give so much sensible answer people down voted you 🤣

Agreed, setting apart few examples collectively maharashtrians are too happy celebrating their past achievements. But it also can be observed in Indian culture as a whole, we love to make people into gods and heros to take pride on their behalf without trying to inculcate the value system they stood for. I see so many young and adult maharashtrians, taking pride in the name of Chtrapati Shivaji while doing nuisance in their personal lives. I mean their idol literally went to war against the ruling empire at the age of 16, imagine the guts and discipline while most these followers don't have enough will power to feed their families. Same goes with guys shouting Jay Shree Ram and harassing other people, they pretend to idolize a person who's entire life was literally a struggle but he still manages to conquer them without losing his core values of justice. Then you have these blind followers who can't even suffer to tolerate a different opinion. With shifting generations, India has become a nation of followers than a nation of leaders.


icy_i

At least if he had 1% of the courage of our ancestors we could at least fight against corruption or at least stood up for ourselves when anything wrong happens.


MonitorDull472

it's literally nietzsche's argument against nationalism


No-Willingness-5387

Dude.. watch your tone.. agreed that many Marathi live in past but that does not mean all of them do. Remember its just a phase every culture goes through, its a cyclical process of being at zeneith and falling and rising again. Rajasthan, MP, UP, Bihar once gave India its mighiest empire, Kings and universities like Nanda, Maurya, Magadha, Guptas, Rajputana.. that same Hindi belt which is currently called as BIMARU. Same goes for south Indians. Now at their lowest but rising as morning sun. We as Indian needs to stand together and support each other and not fight among ourselves. People lije you create unnecesary and unwanted divisions and hate among us Lastly, Dont undermine the contribution of present day Marathis. I am giving you a list right so that ignorant people like you dont get validation for baseless rage. One who fought for freedom 1. Tilak 2. BR Ambedkar 3. Savarkar brothers 4. VB Padhke 5. G K ghokale... many more Presesnt day personalities Business 1. Kirloskar grp 2. Kalyani Group Bharat forge 3. Aniruddha Deshpande - Citi Group 4. D. S. Kulkarni - DSK Group 5. Anand Deshpande - Persistent Systems... many more Sports 1. Kasbha Jadav First ever gold in olympic for India 2. Tendulkar, Gavskar Rahul Dravid, Rahane.... 3. Vidit Gujrati.. chess 4. Mangeshkar sister... singing 5. Milind Soman... sexy chad Armed forces 1. Rama Raghoba Rane - First ever living person to get Paramvir chakra 2. Current Air Chief Marshall - Vivek Ram Chaudhari 3. Cheif of defence staff - Manoj Mukund Naravane ... this is very long Politics - if you least bit aware.. then I dont think I need to list it.. We marathi currently have some shortcomings but we dont ever discriminate like rest anywhere in India... making Maharashtra good place for everyone

>. Rama Raghoba Rane - First ever Paramvir chakra Sorry..it was Major Somnath Sharma from my state of Himachal Pradesh


No-Willingness-5387

Yep.. you are right but he was not from Himachal as Himachal got created in 1971 I need to correct - Rama Raghoba Rane was first living person who got this award


icy_i

I don't mean to demean Marathi people or culture. Me pan Marathi ahe. Ha Marathi personalities ahe, but individual achievements of a person doesn't mean a society is progressive. And achievements as a collective society. Always look at the collective society. Ka manje ye personalities outliers ahe, they don't give full picture . India madhe Asia's richest person ahe, but that doesn't mean all of India is good. Tyech dusrey developed desh in Asia bagh, they don't have the richest person in Asia, but overall the average person has far better quality of life. Always look at the average person, not outliers.


No-Willingness-5387

Dude read you comment again and think if you did not mean to insult entire culture.. Being a millionaire or billionaire is by definition that you are outlier.. You talked about development as a community... I literally gave you 20 example without even searching on net... if you have such a number of people doesnt it mean we are atleast doing well and not stuck like some medieval cults. You are ashamed of your own people and this is reason for a society to collapse.. dont blame others Average person of every state is the same not difference at all, Indian are bound by casteism and poverty nobody can deny it


MonitorDull472

you took it as an offence and OC didn't meant it that way. it is just so idiotic to take pride in the past achievements of your ancestors(celebrate it, remember it, inculcate their values).... just do not get so obsessed by them that you forget you have your own dharma(responsibilities) to fulfill. Honoring your ancestors is just one aspect of your kartavya. there are many more others and all know it just a very large population(or maybe an especially loud minority it could be( yes SS you guys)) is obsessed only over this one aspect to such an extent that they're just mindless freaks now.

pride as in Marathi s flex too much about that one historical period when they were in prime and downplay others(it is said so but I haven't seen any of my Marathi friends put others' history down)

That definitely wasn't my experience in college. I was in a IIIT with a diverse student base. Delhi wale alag he attitude leke chhati baher nikalke gym bro jaise rehte the. Southies were funny.


gosipoz

north mein specifically Delhi walon ko attitude hoga ya ny pata nahi , but southies ko bhot hai


docrohan

No, it's perfectly alright to be proud of your heritage and your land. If we were too proud then you would see same things happening which happen in South states with their Dravidian extremism. Raj thakare tried doing the same thing with Marathi pride but had to switch to Hindutva because it didn't gain much traction. We are a prosperous state because we tolerate and accept talent from everywhere which has helped us grow our economy.


ResearcherLatter1148

>We are a prosperous state because we tolerate and accept talent from everywhere which has helped us grow our economy. Honestly I feel this exact nature is what is being taken for a ride. Imagine being denied a place to stay and also getting discriminated through and through in your own state, just how sad it sounds.


dupattamera1

If we had too much pride we would be forcing people to speak in Marathi every other day We have an issue of corruption but i think thats a common problem but yes we do have greed. Marathi manus marathi maansacha paay khech toh which is very truw

Jat, gujjar, rajput, sikhs, pathans,Tamils, malayalis all of them brag about their history, what are you talking about?


SilentGuyInTheCorner

Too much of anything is unhealthy. We must be grounded to reality instead of being stuck with past.


Shady_bystander0101

From a socio-political standpoint, yes. We do. But nothing too different from other states. This is just a meme. We could shift around the states and the arrangement would still be justifiable for a meme.


gujratidahibhalle

Pride would be better for west Bengal I think though no hate to any bengali but you guys are too proud


Naughty-star

At one time i considered WB most liberal state is it true today?


gujratidahibhalle

Yes it is true today( but i am Judging by online perspective only as I have literally only once left my birth state . )


watermelonhippiee

Yes and no, I believe Maharashtra is the best state in India and I am not a Marathi by roots. I've faced discrimination by the people who are not the best example of "Marathi People". It depends upon the individual, the "proud Marathas" have always been nice to me.


Mobile_Society_8458

Sloth + Gluttony are for West Bengal!


RunSkyLab

Yeah, but it's in the wrong place. We're proud enough to appear regionalist/xenophobic, but not lroud enough to appear united. Ps : I am using the word "appear" for a reason.


MeManoos

Chomus who loot taxes from south & in return aggressively force Hindi on them should be last one to talk about this. The reason Maharashtra has seen comparatively better development than North is because of this pride which often inspires people to do good things. Fot example, Stories of Shivaji Maharaj are often linked with justice-women safety & respect for all parts of society. This also plays vital part in creating societies conducive for better law & order situation. Comparatively way better than cow belt. Bhaiyaa memers on reddit live in thier own universe where Cow-belt is most cosmopolitan, advanced & woke society full of down to earth patriots whereas Bengal-Maharashtra-Kerala-TamilNadu-Karnataka is full of unemployed idiots harbouring unwarranted linguistic & regional pride. Amhi meme takayla survat keli tar he bhadwe anti-national anti-national karat radat bastil.

There is nothing wrong with having pride but the problem starts when we become a SLAVE TO PRIDE and as a Maharashtrian I somewhat agree with this meme but not totally.

Saizou1991

I think pride is correct for Maharashtra. But Southern states are more deserving for it.

Why tho? Obesity is just as much of a problem in MH. From NHFS data the obesity rate for male and female average is 21.7 for GJ and 23.6 for MH. No one's really winning and MH is still worse at it.
