Amravati Becoming More Cosmopolitan Than Mumbai!
I was born and brought up in Mumbai, but my native place is a small village in the Amravati district. I visited Amravati recently for the first time after the lockdown, and still trying to process what I saw I just can’t believe how overwhelmingly 'Hindified' the city has become due to the financial heavy presence of Marwaris and Sindhis here. Even for something as basic as a plot deal, every single broker you meet turns out to be Non-Marathi. It’s not just trade even doctors, shopkeepers, service providers it feels like every sphere of life here has been taken over.
This was once known as the land of Patils and Deshmukhs, even I found myself speaking in Hindi nearly 60% of the time while moving around the city...
