Marwari or Gujju???
I was surprised when a sales head did ask me ,"So are you Marwari or Gujju?"
You must be thinking it's a general question for anyone to start a conversation with someone. But let me tell you guys it wasn't from any random traveller, who was having ride with me on public transport. This question was raised by a home sales person of a big builder (don't wanna be sarcastic).
It happened yesterday, I and my husband were hunting for a house to buy. After visiting few projects, we reached to this site and met with the sales guy. This lady joined us a few minutes later. We had all the conversation regarding the project and suddenly the lady, who was the sales head of the project did ask us "so tell me are you Marwari or Gujju." I was surprised that how come this question even popped in her mind. I looked at her with mixed emotions of surprise and little anger.
Being iconoclast, I really did hold myself and gave her just an answer, which I think she wouldn't have expected from a regular girl or a mother of two.
So my answer was ,'basically I am an Indian but regionally I am Mewari (Mewar and Marwar these are two regions in Rajasthan. People generally don't know about it and do use Marwari term in general for Rajasthanis ). Her face turned pink and said ,'ya ofcourse', and started looking down somewhere on the table.
Here are two things I wanted to share with you all "Bhartiya" that Why we can't be Surgent and change mindset of others and our own too. We all should not be known region wise but as Indian/Bhartiya instead. As we call an american guy American not even West/East/South or North American. Put our nation above states.
