A video from July 9, 2025, near Virar station in Maharashtra captures a sharp confrontation between a migrant auto-rickshaw driver and a biker over a brief overtaking incident. The rickshaw driver, originally from another state, asserts loudly, "Main Hindi bolunga" ("I will speak Hindi"), refusing to use local Marathi. The biker angrily retorts, questioning why Marathi isn't being spoken in the area. The exchange reflects deeper tensions amid a series of recent language-related incidents in the state. Social media buzzed over the clip, reigniting debates on linguistic identity and regional pride. (PC: NDTV)
