I am have seen the damage done within the marathi community. But do not despair, you should see the youth. I have much faith in them when I gauge their enthusiasm during festivals like ganesh chaturti or even shivaji day. Same goes for the other festivals in Mauritius. I think diversity should be enforced and celebrated, your family is the perfect example. :) Yes indeed ReenaDKL.

It would be a pity to promote uniformity. Ganesh chaturti is another example of an important part of our culture. @Ashveer

OUr culture was preserved from annihilation throughout history..Jhassi ki rani, Chatrapati shivaji maharaj have fought to keep it alive. thats something well said. a good example is the the ganesh chaturti festival, whereby the small numbers of marathas striving to keep this momentum from our ancestors alive are finding it dificult as many of them have fallen to the so called “Ned Flanders”.
