Thackerays are confused guys. They think 'Marathi' is a separate identity or ethnic group. They are erroneous in their assumption. But the ethnic divide within India is true and some day or the other, the division will show up. Thackereys have not found their true alignment. The Marathi culture is very very Indian and in a good number of ways differs fromt he actual Aryan culture and yet the Marathis also follows certain things like the calendar, which are cent percent Aryan. A person who is more interested in preserving Marathi culture needs to do more research that the Thanckereys.
