Why are you adamant that most muslims in Maharashtra would like to be identified as Marathi people ? In my opinion only the Konkani muslims ( Mr. Antulay is a member of this community) consider themselves Marathi and retain pre-islamic culture. As you say "only those Muslims of North Indian descent (concentrated in Mumbai, Malegaon, Bhiwandi and Aurangabad) identify themselves as Urdu speakers" Don't you think this constitutes the majority of muslims in Maharashtra ? --24.187.26.104 03:18, 31 January 2007 (UTC)Shakher59
