Is there such a thing as Marathi Culture?
by Rohit Kanwar on Feb 09, 2008 05:17 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Marathis lead a very culture-less and troubled existence.
For example, they have not produced even a single literary figure of the
caliber of TulsiDas, Valmiki, Surdas, Kabir, Ram Dhari Singh Dinkar,
Maha Devi Varma, Harivansh Rai Bachchan. All they produce are Dada Kondke
and his double meaning dialougues.

Wonderful!...now lets fight about whose ancestors were greater...!!!
Rohit Kanwar, Abhijit Dongre, Sachchi Baat,Nishant K and Ganesh... tear each of yourselves apart and prove somehow that your ancestors were the real great ones and theirs was just a god for nothing. Ancestors for all of you are gone...its time for you guys now. Bet your ancestors would not have fought over the same issues like u are doing today. Why dont you guys annihilate each other for a change and finish off the debate for good? And if you guys are real in your hatreds, do find something to talk about my ancestors as well... after all I am also an Indian... go ahead..abuse me and my forefathers too... I deserve it..!!!

Very true Amitabh, I was really wondering the same. What would have been the legacy of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev if even one of them tought about what state he belonged too.

do you know something about history. the mughals and other north indian rulers just looted maharashtra, but the marathas and peshwas protected your delhi and other surrounding from foreign attack. if the peshwa Bhausaheb wanted,he would haveeasily crowned the prince of maratha dynasty,the symbol of maratha manhood, a beutiful flower and a great warrior,Vishwasrao as the emperor of india

Rohit,

Now, this is sheer ignorance. It is always good to have pride in your own literature, culture, birthplace. But you should not pass such comments, without knowing the past, literature, culture or anything unless you have truly learnt or studied history or literature of that particular region. Every culture, literature is nice. Every land has its own heritage, heroes. That's the beauty and you should appreciate and enjoy it. If you are an educated person, you should think wisely and talk nicely.

Hi Nishant trust me we Panjabis bash them black and blue in Panjab and Haryana. Infact now Panjabi folklore is full of jokes about Bhaiyaas. "Kinne saada Bhaiya kuteya.."

Hi Rajendra,
Ture. Jhansi is in UP. But for you kind information Rani was of Marathi origin. Anyway, what does that make difference, she was Indian fighting for India's pride against invading British. That is what Mr Raj is highlighting that if you stay in some other state you should mingle in that culture so well that no one can doubt your honesty. You should be proud of being UPian, Biharian, etc., after being an Indian and Maharashtrian, if you stay in Maharashtra. Similarly, it is for Maharashtrian. They should be Indian, UPian first and then Maharashtrian, if they are settled there. Is there anything wrong in that? This is the way of being true Indian and not making regional differences.

Ever heard of read anything by

Saint Dnyaneshwar, Tukaram, Namdev or by Leaders like Tilak, Gokhale, Ambedkar

If no then you are a moron and having a pathetic existence on this planet.

Rohit where you from Rajstan or UP? Sawarkar was great Man who spent his life in Andaman for Our India & the same time he has written some patriotic songs which you could not understand becasue of your narrow minded nature. Tilak was in Mandale & he wrote Geeta Rahsya lots of Maharashtrians spent their life of this country knowing that there are some Rohit Kanwar in this country.
