Mandeshi Manasa

MANADESHI IS AN INSEPARABLE PART OF POSTINDEPENDENCE MARATHI LITERATURE. THE CHARACTER SKETCHES IN THIS COLLECTION ARE NOT ONLY TALES IN THE OLD MOULD, BUT ALSO HAVE THE MAGICAL QUALITY THAT TOUCHES UPON THE VERY ESSENCE OF LIFE. THE CHARACTERS ARE GENUINELY MARATHI IN NATURE, AND THEY HAVE BEEN DRAWN WITH THE EASE WITH WHICH DAWN TURNS INTO DAY OR A BUD BLOSSOMS INTO A FLOWER. WITH INNOCENCE, VYANKATESH MADGULKAR TELLS US ABOUT THE POVERTYSTRICKEN LIVES OF THE PEOPLE OF MANDESH AND THEIR SAGA OF NEVERENDING SORROWS. THEIR TRAGEDY IS MOVING. THE MIND IS FILLED WITH THE THOUGHT THAT WHILE MEN SEEK SOME HAPPINESS, THEIR LIVES WERE NEVER SCRIPTED TO FIND IT. THIS ESSENTIAL TRAGIC FACT IS TOLD BY MADGULKAR WITH THE DETACHMENT OF AN ARTIST. THIS RENDERS HIS CHARACTERS UNFORGETTABLE. OUR MIND IS DISTURBED EVERY TIME WE THINK OF THEM.
