There’s something almost perverse about the Maharashtrian psyche: While we always puff our chests with pride in public and go into the “Me, Marathi” mode with non-Maharashtrians, there is zero sense of unity… no feelings of kinship, leave aside love for fellow Maharashtrians. Which self-respecting Maratha would accept Praful Patel as …
