Zusammenfassung: | [...]he remained a Sanskrit scholar even as he became an expert in Chinese; he remained steeped in Abhinavagupta even as he came to terms with Mikhail Bakhtin; he kept deepening his understanding of China even as he wrote fascinating plays in Marathi; and he emphasized caste, in common with the Socialists, even as he grappled with Leninist dialectics. When I first came to know him in 1973, Udhvasta Dharmashala had already established him as a front-ranking playwright.\n After a volume of Jyotiba Phule's writings, edited by him with an introduction, was brought out by Leftword Books, it was decided to draw attention, and through it to Phule's writings, by holding a series of meetings in Maharashtra, attended by him, myself, and Sudhanva Deshpande on behalf of Leftword. |
