To promote community feeling and better businesses interactions among its members, the Chandraseniya Kayastha Prabhu (CKP) community organised a welfare event in Thane on Sunday. It was inaugurated by a freedom fighter from the community and was attended by 1,400 people from across India.
CKP as a community has been known for its “writing and fighting skills”. Some prominent faces that it boasts as members are Baji Prabhu Deshpande, a fighter in Shivaji’s army, Ram Ganesh Gadkari, Marathi writer, B G Deshmukh, ex-chief secretary, Bal Thackeray, General Arun Kumar Vaidya, late army chief, and Tanuja and Smita Salaskar before they were married into different communities.
