MNS Workers Assault Man in Maharashtra Over Marathi Language
Imagine some people in a place called Maharashtra got really upset with someone who didn't want to speak their language, Marathi.
These people, part of a group called MNS, got angry and hit the person.
It all started because the person was asking questions about how much it costs to use the public bathrooms.
The attackers made the person say sorry to their leader and promise to learn Marathi.
This is happening because of a bigger fight about making everyone use the Marathi language instead of other languages like Hindi.
MNS workers assaulted a man in Maharashtra for refusing to speak Marathi.
The incident involved a dispute over public toilet fees and language use.
The man was forced to apologize to Marathi people and Raj Thackeray.
This event is part of a larger conflict about Hindi imposition in Maharashtra.
Several authorities have condemned the attacks and violence.
