MARATHI LANGUAGE, PEOPLE, & CULTURE

Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together. Special Thanks to Gaurang Mankame :) Namaskār! Mājhe nāv Andy āhe. Tumhī kase āhāt? Hello! My name is Andy. How are you? Let's talk about the Marathi language. Marathi, an Indo-Aryan language, is spoken across western and central India, as well as parts of southern India. It is the third most spoken language in India and the sixteenth most spoken worldwide, with nearly 100 million speakers. Marathi evolved alongside Konkani from Maharashtri Prakrit, which in turn descended from Sanskrit. Marathi has been influenced by Dravidian languages like Kannada and Telugu, giving it a unique blend of Indo-Aryan and Dravidian elements. Historically, Marathi was written in both the Balbodh variant of the Devanagari script and the indigenous Modi script, the latter of which was more suited for handwritten communication but fell out of use with the advent of printing. Marathi has numerous dialects, including Malvani, a blend of Marathi and Konkani, and Thanjavur Marathi, spoken in Tamil Nadu. Marathi is the official language of Maharashtra and a co-official language in Goa. Maharashtra, the economic capital of India, has a rich history rooted in its native clans and castes, along with a significant immigrant population. This economic prosperity has led to increased immigration from other Indian states, leading to a soft assimilation of Marathi culture and a declining proportion of Marathi speakers in cities like Mumbai, where only 25-30% of residents now speak Marathi. The Marathas form the largest Marathi-speaking group, comprising 32% of Marathi speakers. While historically divided by caste, modern Marathi people are more likely to identify by language than clan, and traditional attire is broadly shared, except for priestly garments. The majority of Marathi people are Hindu, with Lord Ganesh being particularly significant. The Bhakti movement, a devotional response against Islamic oppression, was founded in Maharashtra by saints such as Dnyaneshwar, Namdev, Eknath, and Tukaram. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, founder of the Maratha Empire, is regarded as a hero and protector of the Marathi people. Maharashtra also has a community of Marathi Muslims, primarily in the Konkan region, and a smaller Marathi Christian population in Mumbai and Goa. Marathi people, predominantly Hindu, are devoted followers of Lord Ganesha, celebrating the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi annually with rituals like invoking idols, offering sweets such as Ukadiche Modak, and immersing the idol in water for his symbolic return to heaven. Other festivals celebrated include Holi, where Puranpoli is traditionally consumed, and the month of Shravan, a time of vegetarianism. Key cultural events include celebrating Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti and Gudi Padwa, marking prosperity and heritage. Despite being proud of their heritage, Marathi people face challenges of soft assimilation, especially in urban centers like Mumbai, where Marathi representation has dwindled to 25-30%. Due to this decline, Marathi people often face difficulties maintaining their cultural identity amidst a significant immigrant population, leading to tensions and cultural conflicts. Only a small fraction of Marathi speakers live outside India compared to other Indian ethnicities, highlighting the community's limited global representation.
