Tamil Superstar Rajnikanth (Originally Shivajirao Gaikwad) is a perfect example of a migrant who has assimilated with the culture of the land he has settled in… without forgetting his roots! Though his daughter’s wedding with a Tamil Brahmin had all the trapping of a traditional Tamil wedding, the ‘Father of the Bride’ and the male members of his family sported orange Marathi Phetas (Turbans)... May his tribes increase! A blog that captures the happenings in Maharashtra and rest of the Marathi World (Bruhanmaharashtra) through the eyes of a 3M – Madhyamvargiya Marathi Manoos (Middleclass Marathi Man). Neither is it a view of the anglicized minority which has lost touch with its roots... nor does it speak for the Marathi masses who may lack the “worldview”. Just a somewhere-in-between viewpoint… but a firm viewpoint indeed!

Rajnikanth sticks to Marathi Pheta
Tamil Superstar Rajnikanth (Originally Shivajirao Gaikwad) is a perfect example of a migrant who has assimilated with the culture of the land he has settled in… without forgetting his roots!

May his tribes increase!

How dare he give up on Marathi? Don't you understand, Marathi deserves the utmost protection from the conspiracies that the North Indian Bhaiyyas have hatched for us Ghatis?
Rajnikanth should proclaim to the world his true credentials as a Marathi Manoos and tender an unconditional apology to Marathi Manoos' God King, Mr Raj Thackeray.
Its good to not forget our roots..................
