00:00Namaskar, my tweet happened in a wrong state of mind under dures and stress and further
00:07now it is getting manipulated and misinterpreted to suit the interests of people who want to
00:13gain from any controversy. Having come under pressure mentally from the violence inflicted
00:20on those who do not know Marathi, I ended up overreacting. I realize I must take back
00:26my overreactions and withdraw. Truth is, even after living for 30 years in Mumbai, the level of
00:34proficiency and fluency that a native Marathi born can have, we will not be able to achieve.
00:43And for avoiding any embarrassments or confusions, one has been using Marathi language only in
00:54less than formal situations with a casual atmosphere only before people very closely
01:01known to us. This has not happened to me in the use of seven other Indian languages that I could
01:06learn over a period of time. And for the simple reason that when there is an atmosphere of fear
01:13that keeps on returning back time to time again and again, it creates natural hesitation.
01:18that what if I end up speaking a single word or phrase out of context or inappropriately,
01:26and some people will choose to blow it out of proportions to purposefully interpret
01:32as an insult being inflicted upon Marathi.
01:35And in such a situation, in such a situation, I, if overreacted in that tweet, I clearly understand
01:48that what a contradiction I've been myself. Always, always, always, not once, not twice, but always,
01:55one has been having a deep sense of appreciation and gratitude to Mr. Raj Thakre for the strong
02:02fundamental issues he raises with the strength with which he stands up for issues concerning
02:07all of us. Whether it was the Hanuman Chalisa campaign recent in recent memories or always,
02:13the championing of Hindutva and Rastrava that he has done is always been a hero. But this time,
02:20when our own have been loggerheads with each other. My mind went haywire and stress. While I've been a fan,
02:28an ardent follower who has regularly positively tweeted about him, with this kind of a situation
02:36where our own are hurting our own. I erred completely in my emotional overreactions.
02:44I therefore urge the same way that I've realized my mistake, and I wish to correct it unequivocally.
02:51The concerned people may also hopefully consider someday soon, that instead of frightening people,
02:58if you provide us encouragement, it will help us overcome our hesitations in achieving fluency in
03:08Marathi language more rapidly, as we will be fearlessly using it more and more. Of course,
03:14the tweet that I made out of haste, out of the stress conveyed things in a way that can be interpreted in
03:23many ways. But if you look at my past tweeting, the way I've been appreciative of Raj Thakarajji,
03:28I'm hopeful he will realize that when they give their own mind, then the mistakes are going to be four
03:35help, as much as possible. That means that I want to be capable of misunderstanding and
03:57the comments.
03:57You
