I asked you
I think AIMIM lost in Mumbra recently
Maharashtrians are hardcore very militant Hindus.
They are also very integrated with their OWN Muslims.
They have no time or patience for Sanghis but put their lot in with them at the national level as a Hindu entity.
But the state has been swept clean.
Maharashtrians rightfully see themselves as the swordarm and the birthers of modern Hindu India.
The ones who initiated and led the Hindu fightback. Seen as native fightback against alien invaders. Not simply Hindu. Because a number of our ranks were loyal native blood Muslims.
They see themselves as those who broke the back of Muslim rule on the subcontinent.
And the reason why India survived as a Hindu civilization and nation.
They have rarely had Central power aspirations, though there is a lot of disgust and dissatisfaction at our national politics being controlled by junglis of UP.
But Maharashtra is big and rich and industrialized enough to keep our masses satisfied internally, even though royal Sahvankuli (96 royal clans) Maratha families have left their cultural and political imprint across the land.
Hope that gives a satisfactory summary of Maharashtra to you.
