Guest guest Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 We belong to Deshastha Madhwa family from Belgaum/Bijapur area currently living in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, with most of the our family speaking both Kannada and Marathi. I had an opportunity to study and work in Tamil Nadu (Trichy/Tuticorin/Madras) for many years. I had an option to select from Nagpur, Suratkal and Trichy engineering colleges for my engineering. I was naturally interested more in Suratkal and Nagpur due to language/cultural familiarity. My father suggested that I should accept Trichy. I was too scared to venture into Tamil Nadu due to unfamiliarity of territory and language. Finally, I decided to go to Trichy with the option of coming back in case things didn't work out. I felt out of place for a few days and was repenting my decision. HOwever, slowly I started making friends. I was surprised to know that some of them were 'Madhwas' speaking Marathi and Kannada. HOwever, their Marathi and Kannada were much different. I also met people from different communities such as Maratha. It is not easy to find them since they are blended in the society so well. One of friend's initial was P (for Pawar) and another friend was S.Kannan( S for Shindhe). I was aslo introduced to many people whose acestors were originally from Saurashtra region. It is very difficult to make out unless we come to know each other closely since most of them have typical Tamil names. I was really amazed at the diversity Tamil Nadu had. Some of my Madhwa friends invited to their houses and took me to Raghavendra Swamy mutt in Srirangam. I visited many places such as Tanjavur, Kumbhakonam, Kanchi, Rameshwaram etc. Many people from other parts of country are under impression that Tamil Nadu is a very different and on should not speak Hindi. Yes, some common people have feeling against Hindi due to political and idealogical influence. However, my experience was that most of these people are basically very nice people. In fact, some of my colleagues learnt Hindi from me when I was working in Tamil Nadu. After living in Tamil Nadu for almost 9 years, I moved to Gujarat. I missed Tamil Nadu many years. It was really refreshing when I visited Trichy last summer for our 25th year class reunion. I wish I had more time to visit many places around the area.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Dear All,I am a Marathi speaking Madhwa. I have compiled a blogsite very recently on Thanjavur Marathi Deshasthas. Link is ...http://tanjoremarathis.blogspot.com/Please feel free to add your comments and any info is appreciated.My blogsite is still very nascent and needs a lot of work. Ours is a very interesting past as we all uphold and carry on a deshastha marathi language and traditions long since abandoned by people in Maharashtra.I will be adding a post on our historical movement to the South India soon and eventual assimilation into the Madhwa fold and South Indian tapestry.Regards to all,Pratibha Prabhakarspp2000usaFrom: Madhav Kanabur <madhav_kanabur ; sguruprasad; abhijit.klkrnSent: Thu, March 25, 2010 1:14:52 PMRe: Fwd: [sUMADHWASEVA] Marathi Madhwas We belong to Deshastha Madhwa family from Belgaum/Bijapur area currently living in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, with most of the our family speaking both Kannada and Marathi.
