A freak comment by a radio jockey about Marathi songs being too ‘downmarket’ to be played on FM stations prompted Kaushal Inamdar compose one of the biggest Marathi songs ever called Marathi Abhimaan Geet which radio channels had no option but to play on a loop after its release. Fiercely protective about protecting and promoting one’s regional language, it pains Kaushal to see a strange inferiority complex being attached by Indians to their own mother tongue and hence was born Abhimaan Geet (Song of Pride) a song which epitomises the importance and purity of one’s local language.
