I genuinely believe he has something about him which can keep the whole team together and bring the best out of everyone. I would love to see him coach India one day. Link to comment

Kinda like Pahadi. Funny thing is non Maharastrians(mostly from north India) saw Maharashtians use' ghati ' amongst themselves to refer to 'villagers' or someone who lacks manners or who isn't urbanised enough and like they say ignorance is bliss. Assumed it to be a curse word. @Vilander is one of those though a Madrasi(hehe). N.B: Just fyi Maharashtrian means anyone from maharastra including those whose mother tongue is not Marathi. Another misinformation where Maharastrians are equated to just Marathis by other state people. Edited July 18, 2018 by Pollack maniac 1 Link to comment

Dude Madarasi is not a racist term,it stems from lack of cultural awareness and Chinki is a blatant racist slur. Ghati is neither,its more like calling someone an ignorant villager. All 3 are different in nature. if you are trying to use “ghati” as a comeback for using Chinki or madaraasi then the joke is on you for being ignorant Telugu people being called “golt” is another one...it doesn’t even makes sense because it is just a play on words inverting the word “Telugu”...so while someone can refer to me as a golt to try and be a condescending the word itself has no significance...same goes for ghati.
