A comprehensive work presenting the intellectual foundation behind Maharashtra’s social movements.
It offers an overview of Maharashtra’s social movements—from ancient religious texts, the medieval saint movements, various religions and sects along with the ideologies of their founders, to modern social reformers, the British colonial period, the post-independence era, and up to recent developments such as the Anti-Superstition Bill. It examines the past and present while also indicating future directions.
Maharashtra has been shaped not only by visionary rulers but equally by saints, thinkers, and social reformers. Along with these leaders, ordinary people who walked alongside them have also contributed to building Maharashtra. The journey of establishing social justice through the values of liberty, equality, and fraternity leads society toward progress. At the same time, there are regressive forces that hinder social progress for selfish reasons, while there are also individuals who embrace change, eliminate outdated practices, and guide society forward. This book presents an analysis of such events and developments that have shaped Maharashtra.
It discusses the thoughts and contributions of forward-thinking saints and founders of various sects such as the Varkari, Mahanubhav, and Lingayat traditions, as well as eminent personalities like Mahatma Phule, Justice Ranade, G. G. Agarkar, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj, Sayajirao Gaekwad of Baroda, Vitthal Ramji Shinde, Prabodhankar Thackeray, and Veer Savarkar. Along with these great figures, the book also acknowledges the contributions of countless ordinary activists. Dr. More presents numerous significant events, turning points, and references in Maharashtra’s history in a simple and accessible language. (This is people’s history in people’s language.)
