I'm i right or wrong
I’ve been a Maharashtrian since birth, raised by my grandmother, who taught me everything—how to speak, respect others, and communicate properly. As a child, I struggled to write Marathi, so for my birthday, she gifted me Unclepi (a small Marathi learning book) and taught me day and night. She believed that since we live in Maharashtra, language shouldn’t be a barrier. She used to drop me at school, where our rickshaw driver spoke broken Marathi. Still, she patiently taught him a few words while conversing in Hindi, encouraging him to learn over time. The moral of the story: If you live in a state, make an effort to learn the local language—it shouldn’t be a barrier. If you're in Bangalore, learn Kannada. Wherever you go, try to adapt. But if someone is just visiting for a short time, the locals should also be understanding and use a common language when needed.2
