“Tera desh hai, jo marzi kar”: Haryana Man’s Kind Gesture Towards Maharashtra Worker Spreads Message of Unity
"Tera desh hai, jo marzi kar": Haryana Man's Kind Gesture Towards Maharashtra Worker Spreads Message of Unity
At a time when language-based rifts are making headlines, a heartwarming video from Haryana is melting hearts across India. While parts of Maharashtra have seen increasing friction over regional language issues, one man’s simple, sincere words are serving as a reminder of the deeper bonds that hold this diverse nation together.
The video, now going viral on social media, features a local man named Manu Sharma interacting with a young migrant worker from Nashik, Maharashtra. The moment begins playfully—Sharma calls out, “Who here is from Maharashtra?” A worker responds, walking toward him a bit hesitantly. Sharma then says, “Speak in Haryanvi!”
Caught off guard, the young man admits he doesn’t know the local dialect. But instead of making things awkward, Sharma reassures him with warmth and respect, flipping the tone entirely as he says, “This is your country. If you won’t work here, who will? This is your nation – do whatever you want.”
Manu Sharma later uploaded the clip to Instagram, adding the caption, “Lo jee mil gaye Marathi Haryana mein” (Here, found a Marathi in Haryana). The wholesome moment struck a chord with viewers, amassing over seven lakh views in just a few days.
The response online has been overwhelmingly positive, especially in contrast to recent viral videos from Maharashtra that showed non-Marathi speakers being mistreated.
The comments section is filled with people from all over the country applauding Sharma’s attitude. Aditya Kherud wrote, “Its me, Thanks to sharing beautiful msg to indians…jai bharat.”
One user shared their own perspective, saying, “As a Marathi I apologise for this. Even in my office I see such bull****… You know who brings such bull****? People who are not from the city. Bhai IT company me sare manager and bade bade log Sharma, Mishra, Shukla he. Unke samne to ye log Hindi bolte he. And koi gareeb mila — Pani Puri wala ya Zomato wala — to dadagiri.”
Another person commented, “Well done. That’s the spirit. Every Marathi should learn this.”
A different user added, “Perfect way to teach the basics that many states in our country seem to have forgotten!”
The sentiment of national unity isn’t just limited to Haryana. A few days earlier, a similar clip from Gujarat gained attention, where a local man admitted on camera, “Main Gujarat mein reh raha hun, par mujhe Gujarati nahi aati” (I live in Gujarat, but I don’t know Gujarati). That too received praise for promoting acceptance in a multilingual country.
In conclusion, while tensions flare in one part of the country, it’s heartening to see individuals from other regions extending empathy and support. These gestures—and the honest conversations that follow—are not just viral content. They’re powerful reflections of India’s true soul: a nation where brotherhood and sisterhood run deeper than language, and kindness always finds a way to shine.
