There was once a time when family members of Maratha lords of any ancestral village would be recognized & addressed by their surname alone (accompanied with dignified prefixes and suffixes "Rao, Raje, Raya, Saheb") by civilians. Now these surnames are all shamelessly hijacked.
Across Dakshinapatha (Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamizh Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka) Marathas are referred to as Aryas (Ares), Aryavarus, Areollus, Arya Kshatris, or simply Kshatris. However even in these places the non-Maratha castes do not hesitate to steal these designations.
The 96 number has a special connection to Maratha Kshatriyas and Maharashtra. We now have a collected set of literature revolving on this theme showcasing development of Maratha identity.
