Origin

LukeEmily, i am confused that whether it was a surname associated with Marathi Brahmins or not. Somewhere else, i have read that Ghorpade was one of the branch of Bhonsale clan, which is associated with Kunbi caste. So why this difference here. Since you have been editing articles related to Maharashtrian castes, you can better explain it. I am novice in this area. -Admantine123 (talk) 19:32, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Admantine123:, I looked up the sources. It is found in multiple castes Marathas, Brahmins, Mahars and Chambhar.^[1] Bhosle is also found in Mahars etc. One thing that Irawati Karve has discovered is that if a Maratha clan name is also found as a last name (for example Bhosle is a clan name and last name), then that name is found in Mahars also. It is an interesting observation but not sure why that is so. Thanks.LukeEmily (talk) 14:04, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And Santaji Ghorpade was not a Brahmin ? -Admantine123 (talk) 18:22, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
