Why Learning Marathi Matters for the Next Generation

In a world where global languages dominate, the importance of learning one’s mother tongue has never been greater. Marathi is not just a language—it's a living connection to history, literature, values, and identity. For young Mauritians of Marathi descent, learning the language builds confidence, strengthens family bonds, and opens doors to cultural, academic, and spiritual understanding. Whether spoken at home, learned in school, or celebrated through festivals, Marathi remains a powerful medium of expression and belonging.
