Q2. 2.
15 (इंग्रजी उताऱ्याचे मराठीत भाषांतर करा) ANNA BHAU SATHE (1920-1969), a man without any formal education becoming an eminent writer is one of the wonders in the history of Marathi literature. Acknowledged by common consent as the first noteworthy and capable dalit writer, he has proved to be a kind of guiding light for the posterity of dalit writers and could also be treated as the first prominent chronicler of Maharashtra's pre-Independence and some part of post-Independence rural life and culture with its first-hand knowledge and deep understanding. By writing quite authentically, ably and with liveliness almost for the first time about the hitherto neglected, unheeded sections of society like nomads, the exploited etc., he opened up a mine of strikingly new themes and subjects. It was only he who converted the most popular folk theatre of Maharashtra namely tamasha into loknatya that gained prestige, seriousness and social recognition. Having himself come from grass-root level and having lived at the same level throughout his life, he never became an ivory-tower writer. Himself being a proletariat, he was not only a poet, a short story writer and a novelist, but was also a very committed activist of Communist Party. Since he kept himself away from blind imitation of communism, his literature appeals even to those who are not communists. Bajrang Sukhdeorao Korde (b. 1956), the author, Ph.D. in English from Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University, Aurangabad (M.S.) is currently Professor and Head of the Department of English, University of Pune (Maharashtra)
