Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday said his government is committed towards incorporating into the state the areas of Karnataka where Marathi-speaking people are in majority.

This will be the “true tribute” to martyrs of the cause, the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) said in a tweet.

Maharashtra claims Belgaum and some other areas, part of the erstwhile Bombay Presidency but currently in Karnataka, on linguistic grounds.

 

Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti, a regional organisation fighting for the merger of Belgaum and some other border areas with Maharashtra, observes January 17 as the ‘martyrs’ day’ for those who laid down their lives for the cause in 1956.

“Bringing Karnataka-occupied Marathi-speaking and cultural areas in Maharashtra will be the true tribute to those who accepted martyrdom in the boundary battle. We are united and committed towards it. Respects to the martyrs with this promise,” the CMO tweeted.

So is Penguin going to head up the Shiv Sena invasion force?

 

Kangana will be brought in to fortify defences of Belgaum

 

It is Belgavi (a Kannada word now!). It is :lock1: in for Karnataka. We will send out counter-invasion forces to Kolhapur and surrouding areas as it belongs to Karnataka. Time to trigger some of the Kannada Horatagaras of this forum. 

We have our own flag, Maharashtra has none. :eviltongue:

p.s: all this is in jest.

Time to unite Telangana, Karnataka and Maharashtra and impose Telugu as the main language after all it was Krishna Deva Raya’s favorite language :)

 

No way, you guys can claim KDR's legacy. He was a kannadiga and established and made the boundaries of a Hindu kingdom go beyond the deccan region. He promoted both Kannada and Telugu languages, We have a made a biopic of him as well. Take that. :hitler:

The states in India need to be reorganized into smaller units. Linguistic states was one of the more stupid stupid ideas implemented in India after Independence. 

 

 

well it was an idea that had the mass backing- but an organising principle would be hard to base it outside of state/ethnic ideas in a land as old as India- we are not America or Canada, sitting on genocided land or land in complete diregard to any concern of its natives that we can only focus on administrative ease.

how would you have organized the states if you were in charge? Nehru didnt like the idea either but he went along with it.
