Though I cannot speak marathi (trying to learn) but understand the language when spoken or written. But I am a mumbaikar and consider myself a part and parcel of this state to the core of my heart. I travel widely throughout interiors of maharashtra and love the state and its capital. I cannot be denied the rights as described by Mr Thakarey. Sanjoy Bhattacharyya

You are right, all born & bought up in maharastra and also those residing here must be considered maharastrians!!! Both these uncle and nephew are from same family, hence share identical thoughts.
