Study Notes

Marathi Language and Literature

Marathi, spoken by over 85 million people across Maharashtra and neighboring regions of India, is one of the most prominent languages in our country's colorful tapestry. With its deep roots enmeshed with various facets of culture, history, and tradition, it also boasts a cherished literary heritage. Let's delve into this dynamic world of Marathi literature, exploring its beginnings, inspirations, and enduring contributions to both Indian and global letters.

Early Days

The earliest known texts in Marathi originated around the 7th century CE during the reign of King Pulkesin II from the Chalukya Dynasty. These traces of early writing were found etched onto copper plates known as Nishan and Grant. However, scholars agree that the Marathi language truly began to flourish during the rule of Shivaji Bhonsle, a pivotal figure in Maratha history, who commissioned compositions of religious importance such as Abhangas and Varkaris.

Notable Writers and Works

  • Ramdas: A revered saint and poet whose works, particularly the Dasabodh, exerted profound influence upon later generations. His compositions helped shape Marathi poetry with themes of bhakti (devotion) and social service.
  • Eknath: One of Ramdas' disciples, Eknath is regarded highly for his Bharud, which provides commentary on Shrimad Bhagavatpurana alongside numerous devotional poems like Krishnapriyaka.
  • Tukaram: Considered one of Marathi literature’s greatest poets, Tukaram wrote passionate verse called Abhangas reflective of the spiritually inclined Vaishnavism movement.
  • Mahipati: Known for composing the first modern poem written in Marathi, Mahipati is recognized for elevating the literary form with his work titled Kavyamanjari.
  • Vishnushastri Chiplunkar: Often referred to as the father of Modern Marathi literature due to his extensive body of work, including historical novels and biographies. He penned many notable pieces such as Shakuntala and Sant Dnyaneshwar.
  • V. B. Karnik: A contemporary author famous for crafting stories emphasizing women's empowerment through writings like Premachi Goshta and Himmatwadi.

Genres & Influences

With a rich history spanning centuries, Marathi literature reflects myriad aspects of life. Some popular genres include:

  • Poetry (Geet) - Centered on love and religion, often depicted through traditional meters and rhymes
  • Prose (Upanyasa) – Narratives commonly covering philosophical ideologies, spirituality, and other intricate societal matters
  • Drama (Abhinaya) – Popularized in the 20th century via plays written in Marathi, setting new standards within theater arts
  • Journalism (Lokprithiksha) – Encompasses newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and digital media platforms

Aside from domestic influences, Western thought has been instrumental in shaping Marathi literature since the arrival of Renaissance figures such as William Jones and Thomas Macaulay. Their efforts led to the standardization of Devanāgarī script and facilitated the translation of significant English classics into Marathi.

In closing, Marathi literature presents a vibrant mosaic of civilization, endeavoring to embody human emotions, experiences, challenges, triumphs, and aspirations alike. As we delve deeper into its grandeur, we cannot help but appreciate the reflections of society captured so eloquently down the ages—a testament to the resilience and indomitable spirit of the Marathi community.
