The Maharashtra government, led by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, has withdrawn two government resolutions (GRs) issued on April 16 and June 17 concerning the implementation of the three-language policy in primary schools, which included Hindi as a compulsory third language. This decision came amid widespread protests and opposition from political leaders, activists, and academics who accused the government of imposing Hindi and undermining Marathi identity. Fadnavis announced the formation of a new committee headed by educationist Dr. Narendra Jadhav to review and recommend the future implementation of the language policy. The withdrawal of the GRs and the announcement of the committee were seen as a response to the strong unity shown by Marathi people against the policy. In a historic political development, Uddhav Thackeray, leader of Shiv Sena (UBT), and Raj Thackeray, head of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), reunited publicly after nearly two decades to jointly oppose the Hindi imposition and celebrate the government's rollback of the language policy. The two cousins, who had been estranged for about 20 years, shared the stage at a large "victory" rally titled "Awaj Marathicha" held at Mumbai's Worli Dome on July 5. Both leaders emphasized Marathi pride and identity, with Raj Thackeray crediting Chief Minister Fadnavis for achieving what their predecessor Balasaheb Thackeray could not—bringing them together. Uddhav Thackeray stated, "We have come together to stay together," signaling a potential political alliance focused on protecting Marathi culture. The rally attracted thousands of supporters from both parties and featured speeches by prominent leaders including Shiv Sena MPs and Maharashtra NCP leaders. The event was widely covered as a significant moment in Maharashtra's political landscape, highlighting the unity of the Thackeray family factions in opposition to the three-language policy and the perceived imposition of Hindi. The reunion is seen as a strategic move ahead of upcoming elections, aiming to consolidate Marathi votes and challenge the ruling BJP's policies in the state. The Maharashtra Assembly's monsoon session continued with key political figures present, underscoring the ongoing political significance of the language issue and the Thackeray alliance.
