YUVRAJ SAMBHAJIRAJE ANI SATI GODAVARI

WHILE EDITING THE ‘SAMBHAJI SMARAK GRANTH’ DR. JAISINGRAO PAWAR CAME INTO CONTACT WITH THE LITTERATEUR AND ARTIST D. G. GODSE. THEIR CORRESPONDENCE CONTINUED TILL THE BOOK WAS PUBLISHED. GODSE WAS FOND OF HISTORICAL PERSONALITIES LIKE SAMBHAJIRAJE GODAVARI AND MASTANI. THESE WERE OFTEN MENTIONED IN HIS LETTERS APART FROM THE CONCEPT OF SPACE AND HIS OPINION REGARDING MARATHI LITERATURE AND MARATHI HISTORIANS DURING SHIVAJI MAHARAJ`S PERIOD GEORGE BERNARD SHAW AND HIS FRIEND MONALISA. THIS IS A UNIQUE EXAMPLE OF THE INNOVATIVE AND ARTISTIC WRITING OF AN ARTIST CUM LITTERATEUR. THE BOOK INCLUDES THREE ANNEXURES. THE FIRST ANNEXURE CONSISTS OF THE TALE RELATED TO SAMBHAJIRAJE AND GODAVARI. THE SECOND INCLUDES THE ARTICLE ON D.G. GODASE BY PRINCIPAL M.D. HATKANANGALEKAR. THE THIRD HAS SHRI. GODSE’S LIFE STORY.
