UDHVASTA (Marathi)

AABA PATIL`S STORY `ZHAKLI MOOTH` TEACHES FORESIGHTEDNESS. IN `GOSHTA TYAJYA JALMACHI`, THE OLD WOMAN IS THROWN OUT OF SOCIETY AS SHE RESORTS TO IMMORAL MEANS TO GIVE BIRTH TO A MALE CHILD. THIS BOY DIES IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE OLD WOMAN FIGHTS WITH HER LIFE TO SAVE HER GRANDSON. IN THE STORY `VHARPAL`, DAGDU UNKNOWINGLY MARRIES OFF THAKI... AND HELPLESSLY WATCHES HER LIFE GO TO WASTE. `KAVLE ANI SABHAPATI DOMKAVALA` IN THE ALLEGORICAL STORY `BAND` EXPOSES THE SELFISH, EVIL AND TREACHEROUS NATURE OF MAN. THE BEAUTIFUL LANKI IN `MHATARCHAL` IS AFRAID OF SADAMAMA IN HER YOUTH AND TEACHES HER SIBLINGS INSTEAD OF GETTING MARRIED, BUT LATER REGRETS AND GRIEVES. IN “BAJIRAO NANA” THE DRUNKARD TUKYA GETS INTO TROUBLE DUE TO HIS THREE MARRIAGES. SHEVANTA IN THE STORY `AAG` IS ESTRANGED FROM HER PARENTS AND SHE HAS TO SUFFER IN THE EVIL WORLD. SITA TRADES FOR HER SISTER MADHU’S LIFE IN `ROJCHA MADHA TYALA KON RADA?`. `HARYA-NARYA`, `SARG ITBHARACH RAHILA`, ‘TI CHAMPA!’,`GALANG` ARE ALSO VERY REAL AND DIFFERENT. ALL THESE STORIES TELL THE INHUMAN SUFFERINGS AND LIFE STORIES OF UNEDUCATED ADIVASIS- PAINS WHICH WE CANNOT EVEN IMAGINE.
