Maratha Clan System
The Marāthā clan system (also referred to as Shahaannav Kuli Marathas, 96 Kuli Marathas or 96K) refers to the network of families and surnames within the Maratha culture of India. The Maratha primarily reside in the Indian states of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Goa and Tamilnadu. Various lists have been compiled, purporting to list the 96 clans, but these lists are often at great variance with each other.
