my full name is pratap vasant joshi.i am shandilya by gotra.i retired from indin police service.(which means highest superior police cadre of india)I STARTED research on my community only because absurd & most unscientific theory about 14 corpses having been brought to life by a totally mythological figure PARSHARAM who is supposedly immortal was being perpetuated.To probe into true causes of migration of this community   i have made honest  effort to eliminate  all existing myths. based on concept of highest probability. I came out with theory of EGYPT based migration of ptolemic Greek of sarapis religion    on acct of their trade contact with west coast of india .I luckily found a corroboration to same in SHATAPRASNAKALPLAIKA a  fifteenth century SANSKRIT TEXT which clearly refers to island of SOCCOTRA which was ones populated by Greeks.my next effort is to compare ethnic division of anceint Greek with racial variations within chitpavans of konkan proper i am likely to publish my findings in a book named BERBER KONKAN EK VISMRIT BHUGOL. chitpavan portion of konkan areas was called berberkonkan& chitpavans have been described as berbers in sahyadrikhanda iam open to dilogue on this subject. any special help/contribution will alwas be appreciated.I normally do not give commercial publicity to my books on this topic i rely on  word of mouth publicity. i have been successful so far because i discuss evidence in detail  to make the book thought provoking.it is my observation that most intelligent people who brought fame to community all over india have invariably hailed from a coastal belt ( belt  straddling coastline from RATNAGIRI TO MURUD JANJIRA).HARDLY ANY ALL INIA KNOWN FIGURE HAS BEEN PRODUCED FROM KHED /CHIPUN TEHSILS OF RATNAGIRI  DISTT. /RAIGADH /SINHUDURG DISTT. BY THIS COMMUNITY. It will not be improper to describe thatlatter part has produced non  discript type chitpavans.who are derisively caiied sadashiv pethi /dumbivalikars I will be most happy if some one can roll out names of eminent people who hailed from latter area. it is my observation that not single chitpavan insttution is corruption  free only because of   such mediocre people in charge.They are not only corrupt but they are clumsy. unable to cover tracks. type of mudslinging that went on after grand get togther of 23 december2007. wiill only convice that  comments of  GRANT DUFF 'NO EMPIRE THAN WAS MORE FOOLISHLY LOST THAN MARATHA EMPIRE'WERE NOT WRONG.inspite of being a chitpavan I myself HINDUTVA IS  do not wish to hide the fact that mediocracy dominates chitpavan psyche.A fanatic admiration for murderers of M.GANDHI stiill lingers. what is pitiable is no effort is made to analyse role of NARAYAN APTE. WHO COULD HAVE BEEN A BRITISH AGENT. IAM APATHETC TO CONGRESS AS ALSO R.S.S. /B.J.P MY CONCEPT OF HINDUTWA IS STAUNCHER THAN R.S.S. IN AWAY. I FEEL ALL AMENDMENTS TO HINDU PERSONAL LAW SHOULD BE REMOVED. MUSLIMS SHOULD BE PUNISHED AS PER ISLAMIC  CRIMINAL LAW. I ALSO  PROTEST &RESENT  ENCROACHMENT ON HINDUISM THROUGH INCOMETAX ACT.I AM STRONGLY IN FAVOUR OF ABOLISHMENT  OF HINDU DIVORCE STATUTES AS AN ENCROACHMENT.THESE ARE MY UNORTHODOX VIEWS  IN 21 ST CENTURY.
