marathas are nationalists.they fought panipat.imagine going on hathi and ghoda to panipat.fighiting for the pride of india.in freedom muvement we had tilak,fule,sawarkar,ambedkar and many.remember maharashtra was carved out of cp and berar state whose capital was nagpur which comprised mp and chattisgarh.here marathi also speaks hindi in day to day affair.marathwada was a partof nizam.still u find state bank of hydrabad.you would find lots of lingayats,sikhs in nanded,telgu speaking people,kannad speaking men.in vidharbhalots of komptees are there,banjaras are 2 cr.rest was carved fm gujrat.that is why we have so many gujjus,marwadis and sindhis here,muslims and parsis are here.effectivly u have 7 cr population whose mothertoungue is not marathi.we had non marathi chiefminister for 22 yrs.naik bandhu and antuley. yashvantrao chauhan was intellegent to know this demographic change in maharashtras polity.thats why the name is maharastra not maratha.congreess knowas this.there performance was poor last time still they have won.because they know the arithmatic wake up shiv sena
