A controversy over remarks on the use of Marathi by non-Marathi students sparked tensions at a Thakur College of Science and Commerce, leading to a confrontation on campus.
The incident began after a social media post related to the use of Marathi for autorickshaw drivers drew objectionable comments from a student. The remarks reportedly offended sentiments, escalating into a heated argument among students.
The situation intensified when members of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) reached the campus and confronted the student involved. Videos of the incident circulated on social media, showing a verbal clash inside the college premises.
The episode has once again highlighted sensitivities around language and identity in Mumbai, especially amid ongoing debates over the use of Marathi in public spaces.
Authorities have not reported any major injuries, but the incident has raised concerns over campus safety and the need for restraint in handling such issues.
