We can only estimate with some accuracy the figure given in column 2 above. At this stage, we can not even gestimate, how many people would be staying in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon. This would well be beyond 70,000 anyway. Hence the total Marathi population in the designated region would be approximately 100,000.
