The Mane[1] (Balbodh: माने) are a Maratha clan[2][3][4] found largely in Maharashtra, Karnataka and neighbouring states of India. The name Mane is derived from the Marathi word man ("neck")[citation needed]
The Manes were holders of fiefs during Shivaji's time and considered themselves "loyal subjects" of Aurangzeb or Adil Shah.[5]

These selfish men, the Ghorpades, the Manes, the Mores, the Sawants, the Dalvis, the Surves, the Shiikes, the Nimbalkars and the Ghadges, were content to remain vassals of Aurangzeb or Adil Shah and shamelessly took pride in calling themselves their loyal subjects; they had chosen the inglorious path of case and had done very little to get any sort of rediess to their suffering countrymen, nay they had actively opposed the Swarajya movement as traitors always do in every subject country; and yet when Shivaji the Great brought success to the cause by his extraordtnary genius as a military Jeader of the Maratha nation, they foolishly affected to snecr at him as a usurper.
