Sai not Maratha? - Page 3

The Maratha clan system is a very complex one. Maratha Shahannav Kuli and has 96 clans. The Maratha caste is the largest caste in India and they also dominate a lot of political and social decisions made since times immemorial. They are also very rigid -- which is why Virat said his family is 'kaafi' traditional. The progeny of the clan is of utmost importance to the inflexible Marathas because they seek the 'Assal' (real Maratha blood )

It is actually not the highest caste but a middle cast comprising of warriors, farmers, ironmen etc. They began by being Kunbis who served Mughals. However, with time they prospered and even became rulers. Chavan (pronounced as Chav-van and not Chauhan) are Kshatriyas and one of the 96 Maratha clan and have been traditionally military men for kings and later the country. That also explains the wealth that the Chavan family has -- it could be ancestral

Joshis are Brahmins which is actually the higher caste but Maratha kings were superior in power and Brahmins were generally appointed as advisors to kings. But historically the Marathas have a wrath against Brahmins which had denied education to the community when the Varna system was in place.

So in the scene where Virat catches Mane snooping and says, 'Main Maratha hi Nahi, Mavla hoon'. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is worshipped by them.

Well....must say then, the CVs have done a deep study👏

P.S. Thanks for your vast knowledge sharing😊

Thanks to everyone who shared the information here! 🤗

Thanks for the information. Now understood what caught bw bhavani's teeth

But what an irony bhavani favorite pakhi has noodles for bones always crying where as sai who is so brave when faced with kidnapping,possible rape and even during her Abbas accident.(except fo suicide attempt)

Yes CV's have not only done the great homework regarding CASTE but also regarding NAME ... I was wondering from many days about the name SAI as it is still very uncommon ... But remembered VIRAT talking about Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to Virtual the other day .... So I remembered Shivaji's first and beloved wife name was also SAI BAI ... Who always binded Shivaji's Family together and was very sweet and compassionate lady ... Just wondering but it can also be character sketch of main FL too

BTW I am new to this and couldn't stop myself from posting about it

Sorry "Vitthal '' autocorrect problem

What does Mavla mean?

Later on like a few months into this marriage

I want Sai's.mama to enter who is super rich educated family also of the Maratha kul Kaku keeps talking about.

His dad Sai's maternal grandfather disowned his only daughter cause she married out of their caste. They blamed Kamal's sir for the death of Sai's mother but now the grandfather is also dead and his last wish was for Sai to join their family somehow he came to know Kamal sir .Also passed away.

He comes to take Sai.
