Absolutely Raj thackrey is correct by saying Marati is a Rich language. The reason behind is MARATHI language is highly SANSKRIT based. Even the word Marthi is derived form SANSKRIT. But as far as culture is concenred, the real culture of Indians are not diffferent NATURALLY. For small and short term benefits some egoistic political persons started artificial cultures based on language (E.g TAMIL / KANNADS/ MARATHI /HINDI). Please note that TRUE INDIAN CULTURE DO NOT HAVE ANY LANGUAGE BASED CULTURE. Indian culture is based on VEDAS /GITA / UPANISHADS. Please avoid supporting other religion by dividing our own HINDU RELIGION WHICH IS THE RICHEST CULTURE OF THE WHOLE UNIVERSE)
