Please read my comment in this ongoing fracas and give me a reply. Iam born and brought up in Mumbai, aged 35, mothertongue is tamil. I have a friend who is a Maharashtrian, aged 27 years. Who is more of a Maharashtrian, my friend who was born Maharashtrian and spend 27 years in Mumbai or me, who was born a Tamilian and has pent 35 years in Mumbai.For people like me Mumbai is all we have, as far as a city of birth or native place is concerned. How do you differentiate as to who represents the Marathi Manoos in this case?
