Mumbai is the land of the Koli and Agri communities. They are the indigenous inhabitants of this region. But saying Mumbai was "built" by them alone is simply not true. Modern Bombay grew into a major port city through the contributions of Maharashtrians, Gujaratis, Parsis, Marwadis, South Indians and countless others over generations. Mumbai was built by many communities. Not one. Jainism has deep roots in Maharashtra and across India. One of the oldest known inscriptions containing the Navkar Mantra is associated with Maharashtra and dates back roughly 200BCE. Maharashtra is also home to the magnificent Jain caves at , a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most important Jain heritage sites in the country. Jainism is not a "Gujarati" or "Marwadi" religion. It is an Indian religion with a presence stretching from Maharashtra and Karnataka to Rajasthan, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and beyond. The irony here is rich. This influencer himself is the landlord most likely sold his land to some gujarati builder in return for a lavish flat and money, yet now wants to frame a local dispute as a grand civilizational struggle. But turning every disagreement into Marathi vs non-Marathi or Jain vs Marathi is lazy activism designed to generate outrage, not solutions.

A few cases have surfaced over the years, but politicians have milked the issue far more than they have solved it. For decades, Politicians claiming to be the sole guardians of Marathi pride have fought elections on the same emotional slogans. Yet somehow the "problem" is always alive when votes are needed and never did anything significant to uplift the community they claim to represent. The issue has generated more speeches than solutions. And now, instead of discussing a society-level dispute on its own merits, some people are trying to turn it into a Jain vs Marathi issue. That is historically absurd. Jainism has deep roots in Maharashtra and across India.

गोष्ट एका पांढऱ्या..... रेषेची...... तुम्ही प्रसाद यांच्या पांढऱ्या रेषेच्या मुद्द्याशी सहमत असाल किंवा नसाल, तो प्रत्येकाचा वैयक्तिक दृष्टिकोन आहे. पण या संपूर्ण वादाने एका अशा प्रश्नाकडे लक्ष वेधले आहे, ज्याबद्दल अनेक वर्षे फारशी चर्चा झाली नाही. मुंबई ही फक्त इमारती, रस्ते आणि आर्थिक विकासाची गोष्ट नाही. या शहराची पायाभरणी कोळी आणि आगरी-कोळी समाजाने केली. समुद्राशी नाळ जोडून जगणाऱ्या या समाजाने मुंबईला तिची मूळ ओळख दिली. पण आज त्याच शहरात, आणि व्यापक अर्थाने मराठी माणसालाच, काही ठिकाणी स्वतःच्या शहरात परका असल्यासारखे वागवले जाते. मुंबईतील काही भागांमध्ये फ्लॅट विकताना किंवा भाड्याने देताना मराठी लोकांना नकार दिला जातो, अशी तक्रार अनेक वर्षांपासून होत आली आहे. काही ठिकाणी "फक्त विशिष्ट समुदायासाठी" अशा अलिखित अटी असतात. अनेकांना केवळ ते मांसाहारी आहेत म्हणून घर नाकारले जाते. प्रश्न असा आहे की, एखाद्या व्यक्तीची भाषा, संस्कृती किंवा खाद्यपद्धती ही घर मिळण्याच्या अधिकारापेक्षा मोठी कशी ठरू शकते? ही समस्या कालची नाही. राज्यातील वरिष्ठ नेत्या आणि मंत्री पंकजा मुंडे यांनीही सार्वजनिकपणे सांगितले होते की त्यांना मुंबईत मराठी असल्यामुळे फ्लॅट मिळण्यात अडचणी आल्या. सामान्य नागरिकांच्या अशा अनुभवांच्या कथा तर अनेकदा समोर येत असतात; फक्त त्या फारशा चर्चेत येत नाहीत. प्रसाद यांनी या विषयावर यापूर्वीही बोलण्याचा प्रयत्न केला होता. मात्र जेव्हा त्यांच्या स्वतःच्या सोसायटीत पांढऱ्या रेषेचा वाद निर्माण झाला, तेव्हा हा मुद्दा मोठ्या प्रमाणावर चर्चेत आला. अनेकांनी त्यांच्या भाषेवर आक्षेप घेतला, काहींनी त्यांच्या भूमिकेचे समर्थन केले. पण या सगळ्यात मूळ प्रश्न बाजूला पडला. एका सोसायटीतील पांढऱ्या रेषेवर संपूर्ण राज्यभर चर्चा झाली. सोशल मीडियावर वाद झाले, टीव्ही चर्चांमध्ये मुद्दा झळकला. पण मराठी लोकांना किंवा मांसाहारी कुटुंबांना त्यांच्या स्वतःच्या शहरात घर नाकारले जाण्याच्या प्रश्नावर तितकीच तीव्र चर्चा का झाली नाही? हा प्रश्न विचारणे चुकीचे ठरू शकत नाही. खरं तर पांढरी रेषा ही फक्त एक प्रतीकात्मक घटना आहे. तिच्यामागे असलेला मोठा मुद्दा म्हणजे सामाजिक आणि सांस्कृतिक भेदभाव. कोणाची भाषा, जात, धर्म किंवा खाद्यसंस्कृती पाहून त्याला राहण्यासाठी जागा नाकारणे हे आधुनिक, प्रगत आणि सर्वसमावेशक शहराच्या संकल्पनेला शोभणारे नाही. प्रसाद यांच्या शब्दांशी सर्वजण सहमत असतीलच असे नाही. त्यांच्या अभिव्यक्तीची पद्धत अधिक संयत असू शकली असती, असे अनेकांना वाटू शकते. पण त्यामुळे त्यांनी उपस्थित केलेला मूळ प्रश्न खोटा ठरत नाही. आज गरज आहे ती व्यक्तींवर किंवा त्यांच्या शब्दांवर चर्चा करण्यापेक्षा त्या समस्येकडे प्रामाणिकपणे पाहण्याची. कारण पांढऱ्या रेषेचा वाद कधीतरी संपेल, पण भाषा, संस्कृती आणि जीवनशैलीच्या आधारावर होणारा भेदभाव थांबला नाही, तर तो प्रश्न मुंबईच्या सामाजिक बांधणीसमोर कायम उभा राहील. मुंबई सर्वांची आहे. पण सर्वप्रथम ती त्या लोकांचीही आहे ज्यांनी या शहराच्या उभारणीत आपले आयुष्य घातले, ज्यांनी तिची संस्कृती जपली आणि ज्यांनी तिला तिची ओळख दिली. कोणालाही आपल्या स्वतःच्या शहरात परका असल्याची भावना येऊ नये, हीच खरी अपेक्षा आहे.

You may agree with Prasad on the white line issue, you may not. That's your choice. But this whole thing made me think about something bigger. Mumbai was built by the Koli and Agri-Koli samaj. Fishing is not just their job, it's who they are. And yet in some areas of this very city, Marathi people are regularly denied flats just for being Marathi. People are rejected just for eating non-veg. In their own home. This is not new. Even Pankaja Munde, a sitting cabinet minister, came out and said she was denied a flat in Mumbai for being Marathi. Prasad has talked about this before too. But he only really acted when it happened in his own society. A white line in one society got everyone talking. But Marathi people being denied homes in some areas of their own city, quietly, systematically, for years, somehow never did. The white line is just one small part of a much larger problem that has been ignored for far too long. Prasad's choice of words could have been better. But the issue he raised is very real.

This guy @prasadvedpathak has manufactured a controversy out of thin air. He's portraying a thin white strip, reportedly laid to help barefoot monks avoid scorching surfaces in summer and slippery moss during monsoons, as if common areas are being converted into religious spaces. The reality is that it's not even used only by monks. Elderly residents benefit from it too. What's even more convenient to ignore is that official permission from the housing society had already been obtained before the strip was laid. The building has 33 flats, of which only 4 or 5 belong to Jain families. The stripe was applied only after following the prescribed process and obtaining approval. The family involved also made their position crystal clear. They stated that if this small arrangement hurt anyone's sentiments, they would never do it again. It's difficult to find a more reasonable and conciliatory response than that. Yet even after these facts became public, this moron continued with the same aggressive rhetoric, using phrases like "cut it out now" and "I won't tolerate this." At that point, it stops looking like a fight for principles and starts looking like a performance for attention. I highly doubt he'd show the same enthusiasm when it comes to illegally occupied 20 foot Ganesh pandals blocking 30 foot roads every year. Speaking up there would get his ass thrashed. Bro seems perfectly fine with incidents of assault during Holi and animal being slaughtered inside society compounds, but a harmless WHITE STRIPE is apparently where he draws the line. No pun intended. Going by his media appearances and tweets, the fact remains that both his YouTube channels have been inactive for over a year. The Jain community is an easy target because it is unlikely to respond with threats, violence, or retaliation. Bro has 2 YouTube channels both stagnant for more than a year.

●The jain couple who made the white stripes with the intention of serving jain sadhu is clearly stating(in the video) that society commeettee had given him permission , which is an formal way a member opts for before doing something in society and not visit each and every flat. ●He is saying even after taking permission if someone feels its supremacy than they,ll remove it. They don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.The issue should have been ended there itself. ●Its quite visible now that the couple who is raising this issue is merely doing this for publicity and fame. They are trying to spread an flase narrative through which they divide jains and Marathi which is impossible. ●I was born and raised in Mumbai, in the heart of Dadar–Shivaji Park. Never in my life have I experienced any such conflict with my Marathi friends, neighbours, or colleagues. In fact, the bond we share is one of the strongest and most genuine relationships I have known. ●Do not let a few loud voices convince you that there is a conflict where none exists. The real story is not one of supremacy or division. The real story is one of friendship, respect, and harmony between two communities that have lived side by side for generations. ●Mumbai taught us to respect differences. Maharashtra taught us to live together. Let us not allow anyone to destroy that spirit for their own agenda. Jai maharashtra 🙏🇮🇳

@AUThackeray should work on his legacy while he still has some time to do some good because he is on the same path as Rahul Gandhi who will retire without doing any good to the country.

The attack on Abhishek Banerjee, a Member of Parliament, is a signal to the world of how democracy has virtually been ended in our country. Law and order is either not purposefully in control, or is beyond control. If the safety of MPs cannot be assured, what is the world going to look at this as? Investors? Tourists? Such a shameful point in our once democratic system
