Mee Marathi mulgi nahi ho—( hope that is right) pan me soonbhai ahe.
The Marathi manoos is an interesting word coined by the media. And Balasaaheb and Bhausaheb (Raj Thackeray ) both claiming the loyalty of the Marathi Manoos.
Coming to think what either Narendra Modi or Bhausaheb is offering is the redemption of the gujju or Marathi identity. Enough times I wished that Randheera Kantirava would emerge to revive the Kannada spirit. Bhag naa—amachi thi Marathi matari aahe naa—thi guh—Shobha De, she was so confused thychi identity badhal now she has accepted publicly in TOI that she is Marathi mulgi, pan zantye zaali manoon, Matari manaicha.
Look at what Modi did, he gave the gujju’s their identity back and now he is feeding the only thing that excites them i.e. business ventures, he has made it the destination ideal. Maybe that is what Bhausaheb has to work on. Jashi amchi Marathi Matari manthe Bhausaheb attah phasa palat.
My poor mother-in-law must be cringing at my Marathi. Ek theer do shikaar.
