RSS has, to a large extent, it's roots in the hinterlands of Marathaland. All the Savarkars and Godses and "kar" and "e" ending surnames of the RSS founders belie their ethnic origins
RSS has, to a large part, it's origins in the hinterlands of Maharashtra. All the Savarkars and Godses and the "kar" and "e" ending surnames of its founders belie the ethnic roots.
Differences are due to support base's caste and class. Shiv Sena derives its support from the Maratha worker class, and depending of the political winds, often espouses Marathi chauvism.
Are Muslims in Maharashtra strong? Like in Aurangabad and Mumbai?
Depends on what "strong" means. They do have larger numbers in both those cities, and are relative better off economically. But still economically weaker than their Hindu compatriots.
