Gadkari[edit]

This name means fort commander. It is a typical CKP name like Gupte. It is not found in any other community. Nitin Gadkari is CKP and so is his wife. Also, his son's wife is a brahmin. CKP/Brahmin marraiges are not uncommon in Maharashtra since both castes wear janeu(sacred thread) and both were very well educated. The sources support this.

Hi, Your statement about Nitin Gadkari may or may not be true. I do not know about Nitin Gadkari's caste but have found conflicting reports. He might be Deshastha also. Best way is to ask him . I will add the "confusion" to the main page. Thanks Acharya63 (talk) 15:24, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Acharya63 , Nitin Gadkari is definitely a Deshastha Brahmin, how? Let's analyse "Let's Drop Anchor". Outlook India..In the article the family themselves wrote mail that they are vegetarians, In another mail of Friday, July 5, 2013, a detailed plan from Vaibhav Dange is forwarded to the captain by Sunil Bajaj, from Essar Services. This mail lists Nikhil and Sarang Gadkari as contact persons, and lists their mobile numbers. The planner adds, “Everybody is Vegetarian and prefers Asian vegetarian that is Indian Veg, Chinese Veg etc”. - CKP's are not vegetarians, so the other option and the most popular one is Deshastha Brahmin. You might say that in some article someone wrote that despite being fish lover's they opted for vegetarian diet, but here the family themselves declared that they are Vegetarians. So they are definitely ✓Deshasthas, Thanks. MRRaja001 (talk) 23:04, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
