RE:The great ghaatii culture!
by on May 04, 2008 04:20 PM

What makes you that the language is laughable??? Let me tell you that the language has always bred Patriots. If it is just about the women the typical Nine yard sari then your are being too narrow minded. The language is rich. Its simply because we have never promoted it ourself. Do you know what Dnyaneshwari is?? What Geet Ramayan is??? What Warkari Community is??? Who were Dnyaneshwar (Gyaneshwar for you), Tukaram, Ramdas,Namdev??? Let me tell about some of them. Dnyaneshwar is the person who translated Geeta from Sanskrit into Marathi in the form of Dnyaneshwari. Tukaram is the one of the greatest exponents of Bhakti Movement. His Abhangs have found place in the Granth Sahib the sacred book of the Sikhs. He was also the person to go to Vaikunth alive. The only one to do so in the Medival India. This is just some part of it. And this i think is sufficient to make you realise the Greatness of MY LANGUAGE. Tell me parallels for these personalities in YOUR LANGUAGE.
