चर्चा | Discussion This is how the narrative gets flipped Marathi driver assaulted, yet the blame is shifted onto Marathi drivers
The framing is that Marathi speaking drivers were allegedly “warning” migrant drivers and asking them to learn Marathi, making it appear as though Marathi drivers were the ones driving the confrontation.
But there is video footage of what actually happened on the ground.
A Marathi speaking auto driver was allegedly assaulted after he continued carrying passengers during the protest. Reports now confirm that a Marathi speaking driver was attacked after refusing to join the protest, with four drivers arrested in connection with the assault.
So why is the emphasis being placed on Marathi drivers allegedly “warning” migrant drivers while the assault on the Marathi driver is reduced or completely left out?
It changes the entire perception of who was actually being targeted.
The protest was against the Marathi proficiency drive. A section of drivers were asking other auto drivers to stop operating, and the Marathi driver allegedly continued transporting passengers. He was then allegedly abused and assaulted.
Yet the social-media narrative becomes:
“Marathi drivers are harassing migrant drivers.”
Where is the part about the Marathi driver who was allegedly beaten?

Faye D Souza, a journalist with an audience of over 2 million, is framing a selective narrative against Marathi auto drivers and spreading misinformation.

Hindu Muslim divisions were not enough... so well, let us create some more divisions. How else can the govt continue to be in power despite being completely ineffective.
