The Peshwa Brahmins of Maharashtra

Origin of the Peshwas, Chit Pavan Brahmins
You people do not know the history behind the origin of the Peshwas.Shivaji was a conquerer of territories but was not a good administrator. He entrusted the administration of the Maratha Empire to his Chit Pavan Brahmin Minsters and set on conquering the Indian kingdoms. He did not educate even one percent of his Maratha Community and all were recruited in Maratha Army. So the marathas remained illiterate and ignorant in the art of governance. The Chit Pavan Brahmins took advantage of this backwardness of the Marathas and in course of time grabbed power from heirs of Shiwaji and became de facto Rulers of the Maratha Empire .
I had read History of Marathas by Gen Grant a few years back. he has written there in that the Hindu Idol Parshuram had killed thousands of the Kshatriyas and so the displeased Brahmin community expelled him from their fold. he he set on to find a good place. he reached KonkaN strip and finding its location , sea, vegetation etc decided to settle there . He was relaxing on sea shore one day, and saw 4 dead bodies floating on the waters. He took them out and spoke mantras in the ears of the dead bodies, life came to the dead bodies and four men became alive. He gave them name of " Chit-Pavan " Chit stands for Chita and Pavan for holiness or aired mantra. Then they increased their number and were called " Chit Pavan Brahmins ". The Peshwas are the heirs of the Chit Pavan Brahmins . The present Chief Minister Fadanvis is a Chit Pavan Brahmin . The above story is a myth ( Dant Katha ) but anthropologically, the ancestors of the Chit Pavan Brahmins came from European coastal areas and so look to their skin, forehead , blue eyes etc , they do not look like Indian Originals at all We had one Prof Chiplunkar in the Commerce College , near our M T B College, Athwa Lines, his look was just like an European, white skin, blue eyes, good height, etc. Our visiting Professor in MA from Poona Prof Fadakar was also a Chit Pavan Brahman and looked like an European only. -------- That way Maharashtra is still ruled by the European people !
