About this book

सकाळमध्ये दीर्घकाळ चालू असलेले आणि लाखो समर्थक, वाचक लाभलेले फिरस्ती हे सदर म्हणजे एका अर्थानं भूमिगत आंदोलन आहे. मराठी साहित्यात प्रथमच असं आंदोलन अवतरत आहे. त्याचं स्वागत केलं पाहिजे. लेखन, चिंतन, वाचन आणि परिणाम अशा विविध पैलूंनी हे सदर नटलं आहे. वास्तव कधी कधी कल्पनेपेक्षा किती कुरूप आणि कधी कधी सुरूपही असते हे या सदरात वाचायला मिळते. समाज नेहमी अंधार आणि उजेडात विभागलेला असतो. बहुधा उगवत्या सूर्याला आपण नमस्कार करत असतो. पण अंधारातून उजेडात येण्यासाठी उत्तरायणाला निमंत्रण देणाऱ्या, त्याची प्रतिक्षा करणाऱ्या आणि त्यासाठी श्वासागणिक लढणाऱ्यांचं काय करायचं याचं उत्तर फिरस्तीतून मिळतं. दुःख शोधत, दुःखाला भिडणाऱ्या आणि त्याचं साहित्यात रूपांतर करणाऱ्या या सदराला जगभरातून वाचक आणि चाहते लाभले ते याचमुळे. लोकांना आरशात पहायला आवडतं आणि फिरस्ती तर समाजाचा एक आरसा आहे. त्याचा पारा दणकट आहे. आणि विशेष म्हणजे गद्दारी करणारा, फसवे चेहरे दाखविणारा हा आरसा नाहीय... ज्या समाजात आपण राहतो. तो समाज समजावून घेण्यासाठी फिरस्तीसारखा दुसरा आरसा नाहीय.

 

The long-running column Firosti in Sakal, which has gained lakhs of loyal readers and supporters, is, in a way, an underground movement. Such a movement is appearing in Marathi literature for the first time and deserves to be welcomed. The column is enriched with multiple dimensions—writing, reflection, reading, and impact. It reveals how reality can sometimes be more ugly than imagination, and at times even more beautiful.

Society is always divided between darkness and light. We usually bow to the rising sun, but what about those who invite the dawn, who wait for it, and who struggle with every breath to move from darkness into light? Firosti offers an answer to this question. By seeking out suffering, confronting it, and transforming it into literature, the column has gained readers and admirers from across the world.

People like to look into a mirror, and Firosti is a mirror of society. Its reflection is sharp and unflinching. More importantly, it is not a deceitful mirror that shows false or flattering images. To truly understand the society we live in, there is no better mirror than Firosti.

About the author

Uttam Kamble

उत्तम कांबळे यांचा जन्म ३१ मे १९५६ रोजी कर्नाटक राज्यातील बेळगावी जिल्ह्यातील चिक्कोडी तालुक्यात एका गरीब ग्रामीण कुटुंबात झाला. त्यांचे बालपण अत्यंत साध्या आणि कष्टमय परिस्थितीत गेले. त्यांच्या आईला फारसे औपचारिक शिक्षण नव्हते आणि लहानपणी उत्तम कांबळे आईला घरातील दैनंदिन कामांमध्ये मदत करत असत. अनेक अडचणी असूनही आपल्या कुटुंबात औपचारिक शिक्षण घेणारे ते पहिले व्यक्ती ठरले.

तरुणपणी त्यांनी शिक्षण सुरू ठेवण्यासाठी खूप कष्ट केले. शिक्षण घेत असतानाच त्यांनी स्वतःचा खर्च भागवण्यासाठी विविध छोटी-मोठी कामे केली. कधी वस्तू विकण्याचे काम तर कधी पेपरबॉय म्हणून वर्तमानपत्रे वाटण्याचे काम त्यांनी केले. या सुरुवातीच्या संघर्षांनी त्यांच्या मनात जिद्द आणि चिकाटी निर्माण केली. याच जिद्दीमुळे त्यांनी आपले शिक्षण पूर्ण केले आणि पुढे यशस्वी वाटचाल सुरू केली.

उत्तम कांबळे यांनी १९७८ साली कोल्हापूर येथील Shivaji University मधून राज्यशास्त्र विषयात बी.ए. पदवी प्राप्त केली. पदवी घेतल्यानंतर १९७९ साली त्यांनी समाज या छोट्या मराठी दैनिकातून पत्रकारितेच्या क्षेत्रात आपल्या कारकिर्दीची सुरुवात केली.

१९८२ साली त्यांनी Sakal Media Group मध्ये प्रवेश केला. महाराष्ट्रातील अग्रगण्य माध्यमसंस्थांपैकी असलेल्या या संस्थेत त्यांनी पुढील संपूर्ण कारकीर्द घडवली. पत्रकारिता, लेखन आणि संपादकीय कार्याच्या माध्यमातून त्यांनी महत्त्वपूर्ण योगदान दिले.

Uttam Kamble was born on 31 May 1956 in a poor rural family in Chikkodi Taluka of Belagavi district, Karnataka. He grew up in very humble circumstances, and his mother had little formal education. As a child, Uttam often helped her with daily work at home. Despite these challenges, he became the first person in his family to receive formal education.

During his youth, he worked hard to support himself while continuing his studies. He took up small jobs such as selling goods and delivering newspapers as a paperboy. These early struggles shaped his determination and helped him continue his education, eventually leading him toward a successful career.

Uttam Kamble completed his Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from Shivaji University, Kolhapur, in 1978. After graduating, he began his journalism career in 1979 by joining a small Marathi daily newspaper called Samaj.

In 1982, he joined the Sakal Media Group, one of the leading media organizations in Maharashtra. From that point onward, he continued his professional journey with the Sakal Group, dedicating the rest of his career to journalism and making significant contributions through his writing and editorial work
