nterestingly, the Dravid surname is found only among Maharashtrians and indicates Tamil Brahmin ancestory (large group of Tamil Brahmins migrated to Central India to take on priestly roles in the Maratha kingdoms, and stayed on, essentially becoming Maharashtrians over time. Dravid surname recognizes their roots).
Yes, Marathi is his mother tongue. Mixed parentage - His father is a Tamilian (born of Tamil parents who had settled in Central India), while Mom is 100% Maharashtrian. Family speaks Marathi at home.
I am a pucca Maharashtrain Deshastha Brahmin working in Bangalore or Mumbai. If I decide to settle there with a Marathi wife, so after say 20 years will my children be kannadi? No. But for ur info, I learned speaking Kannada fluently , Tamil in patches, there in 8 months. Why cant people who live for generations in Mumbai speak 2 words in Marathi?
@utubbel people delibrately dont speak in marathi bcoz they think it is downmarket Marathi people are ridiculed in Mumbai if they speak in Marathi,Go to Chennai and u can count on fingers the people speaking any other language than tamil
really does that matter...we r indians....and we shud forget abt being maharashtrain, UPite etcc...thet really nvr counts or should not not be accounted!!!
as far as marathi spking goes...its a bullshit to kno marathi in maharshtra...however at the same time one should not overlook the fact that mumbai is getting overcrowded and as all indians should try to keep this city at its best...
I dont know why i feel so proud that hes speaking in marathi...if thsi guy isnt proud of him being marathi..why should i be proud of him being marathi..
there can be a very small percentage of deshasthas who migrated generations ago........but 95% deshastas r in maharashtra n from maharashtra...n their mothertongue is marathi.....same goes wit kokanastha bhramins , rahul dravid is a marahthi deshastha brahmin who moved to bangalore at the age of 14 as his ad was transfered...his wife is from nagpur.........JAIHIND JAI MAHARASHTRA

Same is true in the case of Rajnikanth(Shivaji Rao Gaekwad ) , who is a Maharashtrian brought up in Karnataka , settled and worshipped in Tamil Nadu as Super Star . He could have become Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu if he wanted .He is comfortable with Kannada and Tamil, can also speak Telugu. Unfortunately he does not know Marathi , his Mother Tongue .
I think he does that with every language,I think it's not a matter of him not being fluent with the language but rather him just collecting his thoughts.
Rahul was born in Indore, Madhya Pradesh[4] into a Maharashtrian Brahmin family [5] living in Karnataka. He grew up in Bangalore, Karnataka. [6] He speaks Kannada and Marathi.[7][8]He has a brother named Vijay. Dravid's father worked for Kissan, a company known for jams and preserves and thus he earned the nickname Jammy from his teammates at St. Joseph's, Bangalore. Rahul Dravid has a degree in commerce from St Joseph's College of Commerce, Bengaluru (previously known as Bangalore), Karnataka.
Nope, just because he was raised in Karnataka, it doesn't mean he is a Kannadiga. He is Maharashtrian (Deshastha Brahmin) by birth, born in Indore and raised in K'taka.
To add more spice to the discussion, he is an ethnic tamilian whose ancestors were under marathas. so he can speak kannada, marathi and tamil well. :-)
Of course, he ought to speak it. That's his mother tongue you doubtful morons! Peep into history and remember it was some Dravid brothers from Pune who informed the British of the whereabouts of Chaphekar brothers who killed Walter Rand the atrocious a***hole officer whose handling of plague led to theh deaths of thousands of Indians!!!
