Brief History
The Greater Sacramento area has had a reasonable number of Marathi-speaking families for quite some time. Marathi Mandal Sacramento was formed in order to bring them all together in a celebration of the Maharashtrian culture. Marathi Mandal Sacramento hopes to achieve this by organizing regular activities and events that will reflect the spirit of our community. It will also be a platform for our new generations to understand and preserve our customs and traditions, and foster pride for our common language, culture and history.
The need for such forum for Marathi-speaking families was recognized by Ajit Natu. He initiated the thought process amongst small number of Marathi speaking families about forming the mandal which has now become a reality.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
“Indeed, the Englishman’s history of New England commences only when it ceases to be New France.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
