I understand that the delimitation outrage is not just about the increase in seats; it is due to the lack of development and high corruption in the North which results in mismanagement of the local population resulting in less growth, low education etc. for the entire country.

This post is just to point out that If the north does get it's shit together, the population that region can sustain without putting any extra efforts is not comparable to any other place in India.

If not in the world, it is the easiest area to sustain and maintain a massive population in India.

Let me know if I am wrong or missed something. The rest of India just cannot compete in terms of

- Image 2 - Ease of farming, richness of soil - Massive plains supported by silt from the Himalayas, agriticultural output unmatched

- Image 1 - Ease in transportation - Can travel 1000s of kilometers on perennial rivers on PLAINS (Delhi would be an even better capital if Pakistan and Bangladesh had not split, it is almost perfectly located to travel on rivers to both coasts of India)

- Image 3 & 4 - MULITPLE PERRENIAL water sources along with decent rainfall

- Image 2 - Massive area without too many plateaus, hills and mountains, the rivers have made the entire area better for settling, trading and spread of language

-----

Given India as a whole stabalizes and becomes prosperous as time goes, is there any way rest of the India can compete with the North ,or, more regional autonomy is the only way forward ?

मुंबई-पुणे एक्स्प्रेसवेवरील बहुचर्चित 'मिसिंग लिंक' प्रकल्पावर मुसळधार पावसानंतर दरड कोसळल्याने मुंबईकडे जाणारी वाहतूक तात्पुरती बंद करण्यात आली असून वाहनांना लोणावळा मार्गे वळवण्यात आले आहे. सुदैवाने कोणतीही जीवितहानी झालेली नाही.

हा प्रकल्प नुकताच सुरू झाला होता आणि वाहतूक कोंडी कमी करण्यासाठी मोठा उपाय म्हणून त्याच्याकडे पाहिले जात होते. मात्र पहिल्याच मान्सूनमध्ये अशी परिस्थिती निर्माण झाल्याने अनेक प्रश्न उपस्थित होत आहेत. काही ठिकाणी यापूर्वी खड्ड्यांच्याही तक्रारी समोर आल्या होत्या.

Now, I know you might argue that Marathwada has cities like Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, but those are just a few places that are doing well economically. The rest of Marathwada is still very underdeveloped (literally equivalent to Bihar)

Recently NEET exam was concluded, my younger sister also appeared for the NEET exam. As per her confidence she is willing to get Government medical college in Maharashtra. We both were exploring the college cutoff and thinking to get admission in Kolhapur as it's very close to our home town.

After exploring the previous year admited student list, was shocked 😳 to see alot of Outsider which are not even from Maharashtra has taken admission claiming that they are Maharashtraian.

People from North India specially (UP/Bihar/MP/Gujarat/Rajasthan) and many outsiders stealing these seats.

As per Rules outsiders or Non-Maharastra State candidate have 15% quota reserved in Maharashtra Medical College. But these people are making Maharashtra state domicile and openly stealing rest Seats. How come Sharma? Gupta? Singh? Patel? Tiwari became Maharashtraian??

This is serious matter is even Locals aware about this.?? Can Shinde? Patil? Jadhav? Kamble? Deshmukh claim they are from UP/Bihar/MP/Rajasthan and take the reserved State Seats?? There is no hate but why making Maharashtra state domicile as Even your not Maharashtraian??

I'm attaching screenshot of PDFs of student admitted to Government medical college Kolhapur were you can clearly see Outsiders have claimed them as Maharashtraian even their surname and Identity doesn't matches. There are a lot of such candidates just imagine, what is happening allover Maharashtra and other Districts??

So these seats reserved for the locals have been Stolen due to fake documents?? Isn't it's injustice?? This need to be viral and reached to all people and need awareness.

श्रेयस तळपदे यांनी सांगितलेल्या घटनेत एक गोष्ट खटकते. स्वतःच्या राज्यात घरकर्ज मिळण्यासाठी एका मोठ्या सेलिब्रिटीच्या पत्राची गरज पडावी, ही व्यवस्था सामान्य माणसासाठी किती न्याय्य आहे?

शाह रुख खान यांनी मदत केली, त्यात त्यांचा दोष नाही. उलट त्यांनी सहकलाकाराला मदतीचा हात दिला, हे कौतुकास्पद आहे.

पण प्रश्न बँकेचा आहे. जर श्रेयस तळपदे कर्जासाठी पात्र नव्हते, तर एका पत्रामुळे ते अचानक पात्र कसे ठरले? आणि जर ते आधीपासूनच पात्र होते, तर सुरुवातीला कर्ज नाकारलं का?

आजही अनेक मराठी कुटुंबांना स्वतःच्या राज्यात घर, व्यवसाय किंवा कर्जासाठी अशाच अडचणींचा सामना करावा लागतो. अनेकदा पात्रता असूनही प्रभाव, ओळखी किंवा शिफारशींना जास्त महत्त्व दिलं जातं, अशी भावना सामान्य नागरिकांमध्ये आहे.

कर्ज मंजुरी ही केवळ उत्पन्न, परतफेडीची क्षमता आणि कागदपत्रांवर आधारित असायला हवी. कोणाची ओळख आहे किंवा कोण शिफारस करतं यावर नाही.

जर बँकेने पहिला निर्णय योग्य घेतला होता, तर नंतर कर्ज मंजूर का केलं? आणि जर नंतरचा निर्णय योग्य होता, तर सुरुवातीला नकार का दिला?

ही फक्त श्रेयस तळपदे यांची गोष्ट नाही. हा प्रश्न व्यवस्थेच्या पारदर्शकतेचा आणि सामान्य नागरिकांवरील विश्वासाचा आहे.

“...सुखसंकथा विनोदी राज्य करित दक्षिणदिसावरे दिगुविजय यात्री विजयं करवुन...”

When one think of these 2 plates, they often think of them as one. However these 2 are completely different altogether. The confusion likely arises because they are issued by same dynasty. These are namely of Satara and Nerur copper plates.

Nerur Copper Plates-

These are dated to 601CE. Even though the script is an old Southern Brahmi variation and the primary language is Sanskrit & they do not contain written Marathi text, they provide the essential historical, cultural, and geographical foundation of Maharashtra. They are critically valuable to Maharashtrian historians. Before historians can trace a language, they must trace the geography of the people who spoke it. The Nerur plates are among the oldest surviving physical documents to explicitly name villages and regions in the coastal Konkan heartland of Maharashtra. The plates serve as one of the oldest legal geographic records of the Konkan region in Maharashtra. They explicitly mention regional villages and land layouts—such as Kundivataka (modern-day Kundi or Kudal) and Nerur itself in the Sindhudurg district. Tracking how these ancient names evolved into modern Maharashtrian town names is a crucial method linguists use to trace the geographical footprint of early Maharashtrian culture. Local administrative terms, measurement systems, and colloquial names used in the Sanskrit text show a subtle blending of dialects. This linguistic overlap heavily influenced the early phonetic structure of what would eventually crystallize into distinct regional langs (like Malvani and Konkani).

• Maharashtra Gazetteer, “Chapter 6: The Calukyas of Badami” — useful for historical framing of the Chalukya context and for placing the inscription within Konkan history.
• History of the Konkan (A. K. Nairne) — useful for background on Konkan geography and the historical importance of the region, though not a direct epigraphic edition of the Nerur plates

Satara Copper Plates-

These plates have become very crucial for understanding the evolution of the Marathi language. These have put officially put an end to the missing link which for years had existed between Maharashtri Prakrut and Older Marathi.

The EXACT year when the Arab invaders were repelled by Chalukyan forces in the Battle of Navsari. These plates are dated to 739CE (Shaka Samvat 661) which were issued under Chalukyan king Vijayaditya, these plates contain both Sanskrit verses and lines written in an early dialect of Marathi. While the charter is predominantly in Sanskrit—the formal royal language of the era—the prose includes explicit, recognizable Marathi words (such as in lines 13–17). This proves that the local tongue was already taking on distinct Marathi structures well before the 13th-century literary standard.

The inscription explicitly mentions Karahataka (the ancient name for modern-day Karad) and references historical lore surrounding Hastinapur and King Janamejaya. This anchors the early vernacular language to the culture and geography of the Satara region in Maharashtra.

• (Lines 1 to 12): Roughly 70% to 75% of the total text is in Sanskrit. Following standard imperial protocols of the Chalukyas, it opens with formal praises, religious invocations, and the official genealogy of the king. However, even within these first 12 lines, regional vocabulary and Marathi nouns begin to surface.
• Proto-Marathi / Early Vernacular (Lines 13 to 17): Roughly 25% to 30% of the text is written in an early dialect. This section is a localized record written in a prose format that directly maps onto modern Marathi grammar, syntax, and vocabulary.

The Sanskrut sentences-

The text details the ancestry of King Vijayaditya, praising his military victories, his devotion to the deities, and his governance over the "Three Maharashtras" (a geographic region referenced in Chalukyan records). It states the legal terms of a grant or administrative decree being enacted in the region.

"By the command of the illustrious Vijayaditya, the asylum of the universe, the favorite of fortune and the earth, the great king of kings... let it be known to all administrative heads..." It serves as a legal preface to prove that the decree holds royal, divine backing.

The Marathi Sentences & Meaning

The transition into early Marathi occurs precisely when the text shifts from abstract royal praise to local geographical realities, regional folklore, and religious boundaries-

"परिक्षीतानिकुसुतजनमेजय चक्रवर्ती हस्तिनापुरी सुखसंकथा विनोदी राज्य करित दक्षिणदिसावरे दिगुविजय यात्री विजयं करवुन करहाटकंबलेश्वरदेवा संनिधी कटमेलिकार करवुन पितृ सत्रु निमीती सर्पयाग करित अहेंद्रभक्षक स्वहा!"

Word-by-Word Translation & Grammatical Breakdown:

• परिक्षीतानिकुसुतजनमेजय चक्रवर्ती (Parikshita-nikusu-ta-Janamejaya Chakravarti): Emperor Janamejaya, the son of King Parikshit.
• हस्तिनापुरी (Hastinapuri): In the city of Hastinapur.
• सुखसंकथा विनोदी राज्य करित (Sukhasankatha vinodi rajya karit): Ruling happily and engaging in intellectual, joyful discourses (Note: "rajya karit" is an exact precursor to the modern Marathi phrase "राज्य करीत" meaning "while ruling").
• दक्षिणदिसावरे दिगुविजय यात्री विजयं करवुन (Dakshina-disavare diguvijaya yatri vijayam karavun): Launching a military campaign toward the southern direction and securing a grand victory (Note: "karavun" directly evolves into the modern Marathi suffix "करवून" or "करून").
• करहाटकंबलेश्वरदेवा संनिधी (Karahataka-mbaleshwaradeva sannidhi): In the presence of Lord Mahabaleshwar at Karahataka (the ancient name for modern-day Karad in Satara).
• कटमेलिकार करवुन (Katamelikar karavun): Having organized a military camp or gathering of elites.
• पितृ सत्रु निमीती सर्पयाग करित (Pitru satru nimiti sarpayaga karit): Performing the Sarpa Satra (snake sacrifice ritual) on account of his father’s enemies (Note: "karit" is the precursor to modern Marathi "करीत" or "करणे").
• अहेंद्रभक्षक स्वाहा! (Ahendrabhakshaka svaha!): Offering sacrifices to the consumer of the king of serpents!

The Exact Combined Meaning:

>"While Emperor Janamejaya, the son of Parikshit, was ruling happily in Hastinapur engaged in pleasant discourses, he set out on a campaign of conquest toward the southern direction. Having secured victory, he established his camp in the vicinity of the deity Mahabaleshwar at Karahataka (Karad). There, to avenge his father's enemies, he performed the snake sacrifice, declaring: Swaha to the consumer of the serpent king!"

• Rather than using the complex verb inflections of Sanskrit, these lines use auxiliary verbs like karit (doing) and karavun (having caused to do). This is the definitive foundational syntax unique to the Marathi language.
• The "Dative" Suffix: The phrase “दक्षिणदिसावरे” (Dakshina-disavare, meaning "upon/towards the southern direction") demonstrates an early version of the Marathi locative/dative suffix (-वर / -वरे). This feature is entirely absent in Sanskrit but central to modern Marathi.
