What have you appreciated?

 

Seriously, tell me what have you appreciated? Have you appreciated someone for having an expensive i-phone and other gadgets? Have you appreciated someone for giving dearest gifts? Have you appreciated someone for luxurious BMW or alike? Have you appreciated someone for extravagant apartment? Have you appreciated someone for throwing an exorbitant birthday / wedding party? Have you appreciated someone for having formidable power? Or have you appreciated someone for close relations with individuals in power? Have you appreciated someone for exclusive connection with film-stars / cricketers? Have you appreciated someone for having abundant wealth? Or have been excessively proud of yourself when you had either of the above things?

 

Please spare a minute, tell me few more things. Have you considered a person with old gadgets or perhaps without gadgets is prudent and sensible or labeled him / her as “outdated or Luddite”? Have you appreciated a person for preferring to walk over travelling by vehicle or called her / him as “tight-arse”? Have you appreciated someone for living a Gandhian minimalistic life or mocked her / him as “miser”? Have you appreciated someone’s simple visit to you itself a gift than the presents brought or titled her / him as “niggard”? Have considered it is ok for someone who hasn’t thrown a birthday / wedding party or called him / her as “Bhikari (beggar)”? Have you appreciated someone for standing by values, morals and not misusing high position or tagged the person as “coward”? Have you treated less privileged persons than you with equality or considered “nuisance”? Have you considered someone not interested in cricket / films has other likings or branded him / her as “boredom”?

 

If your answer to all questions from the first paragraph is “yes” and if you have used the adjectives from the second paragraph to label someone, then, in my opinion, you have no right to mock or jeer Mr. Raj Kundra for his alleged involvement in illicit activities. Because he was doing it for the things that you cheered and trying to escape from what you jeered.

Patil and Deshmukh: A Brief of tale of two subcastes of Maratha Community

Some members of Maratha caste often write Patil or Deshmukh before or after their surname. In fact, in the time of identity and superiority assertion, some have replaced their surname and write only Patil or Deshmukh in the place of their surname. I tried to figure out meaning of these two surnames. I found that Patil and Deshmukh were designations during feudal era, in Maharashtra and nearby areas.   In simple terms, the Patils and Deshmukhs used to be head of village and Pargana (district), respectively. This Patils and Deshmukhs would be from any caste, but mostly from agrarian community which nowadays claims itself Maratha by caste. (And in this discussion, I will limit to them only.) In the course of time, these two attempted to assert that they are different from other Marathas. This assertion has given rise to subcastes within Maratha caste, i.e. Patil Marathas and Deshmukh Marathas. You will find a Deshmukh family in a village very rarely and many Patil families, as t...
