This entire Wikipedia page is misleading, filled with wrong information. Maratha is from Kshtriya category, and Upper caste since ages. And they were mostly wealthy landowners, farmers. It seems intentionally wrong information is published based on some random internet resources. Not all internet sources are reliable. Also according to later wedic classes occupation wise discrimination crated based on occupations. Original Hindu sanskruti treats all humans equally. Kindly stop misleading information.

Military service edit
I believe this section needs to be revised. It gives an impression that the Maratha empire military was composed of primarily of Maratha caste rather people from all castes.Comments please.Thanks.Jonathansammy (talk) 21:46, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
Not informative, but filled with Agenda! edit
This Wikipedia page does not give unbiased information regarding the Maratha caste. The entire page seems to be managed by people with a particular agenda. The tone of the article focuses on the rudimentary caste system. This article is about Maratha's, not Bhramin! Why can't it just be informatory?
If you go to the Brahmin wikipedia page, is it filled with information about their misdeeds? This stupidity is the reason why we were ruled for the last 800 years! Pitiful and pathetic! 2604:2D80:AA88:9600:50C4:7BD8:13C:6D90 (talk) 01:45, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- 2604:2D80:AA88:9600:50C4:7BD8:13C:6D90 Wikipedia is not censored. Please make changes if the cited source does not back up what is in the article. The same goes for any other Wikipedia articles including those on Marathi brahmins. if you have well sourced information which is not in the article then you are free to add that. Thanks. happy editing.Jonathansammy (talk) 18:13, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- Second that. Editors of this page are some low life scums.

Shinde and Holkar edit
Shinde and Holkar, the former royal families of Gwalior and Indore respectively, are included under Maratha in this article. Neither family claims that status.The present head of the shinde family Jyotiraditya Shinde is happy to be called a kunbi, and the Holkars have always been proud of their Dhangar heritage.Yes, the cited sources may be from reliable sources but that doesn't mean that they got it right.Thanks.
