Rahul, even I have quite a few Marathi friends and could even speak the language fluently. Its not the induviduals, but am talking about the social thinking thats pretty bad.
Yes, I was not a bright enough student to study in "collages" (or was it colleges) like VIT, COEP, PICT, etc. but I went to a college IN Maharashtra where most Marathi students were studying based on (linguistic) reservation.
