Rasmun have you lived in Mumbai? Empty Rasmun have you lived in Mumbai?

Mumbai Taxi Drivers Association strongly opposed the new requirement and said, "These are laborers. They cannot go to school and learn Marathi." We have to wonder. These taxi drivers must have passed drivers' test. If they can learn the rules of the road, why can't they learn the language of the state? ...

Can a Marathi go to the Hindi city Lucknow and expect to drive taxicabs there without knowing Hindi? No, absolutely not.

Shirish Parkar of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) correctly pointed out, “People from other states come to Maharashtra because of their need, not ours. It should be made imperative for them to learn Marathi.”

>>>if not learning Marathi hurts them, they will learn it. If not, they likely won't. It is a self-interest thing. Why is Parkar getting twisted over this?
