About this book

लक्ष्मण गायकवाड लिखित 'परिघाबाहेर' या पुस्तकात भटक्या, गावकुसाबाहेर जगणं जगावं लागणाऱ्यांच्या जिवंत कहाण्या आहेत. नंदीबैलाचा खेळ करून दाखवणारा समाज, नाच-गाणी करणाऱ्या वाया, वैदू, फारेपारधी, गोंधळी, वडार, पाथरूट, कैकाडी, धनगर, उचल्या अशा आपल्याच समाजघटकाचं अंतरंग एकेका कहाणीतून उलगडून दाखवलं आहे.

सहसा न दिसणारं माणसांचं अस्सल जगणं या कहाण्यांमध्ये आपल्याला सापडतं, हे या पुस्तकाचं विशेष आहेच. पण त्याही पुढे जाऊन या कहाण्यांमध्ये केवळ संघर्ष नाही, निव्वळ वेदनाही नाहीत. सुख, आनंद, स्थिती-परिस्थिती बदलण्यासाठी होत असलेले प्रयत्न आणि यशाचा स्पर्श... हा सहसा अशा कहाण्यांमध्ये वाचायला न मिळणारा ऐवज या कहाण्यांतून पाझरल्यानं त्या वाचताना वाचक म्हणून आपल्या समजुतीचा परीघ रूंदावतो.

हे पुस्तक आकलनाची त्रिज्या कैक पटीनं वाढवतं. परिघाबाहेरचा समाज परिघात आणण्यासाठी यापेक्षा दुसरं काय हवं?

Laxman Gaikwad’s book Parighabaher presents vivid, real-life stories of nomadic communities and those forced to live on the margins of society. Through these narratives, the inner world of various communities—such as those who perform with Nandi bulls, traditional dancers and singers, and groups like the Vaidu, Phare Pardhi, Gondhali, Wadar, Pathrut, Kaikadi, Dhangar, Uchlya, and others—is brought to light. These stories reveal a raw and authentic way of life that is rarely seen or understood.

What makes this book truly special is that it goes beyond depicting mere struggle and suffering. It also captures moments of happiness, resilience, efforts to change circumstances, and glimpses of success—elements not often found in such narratives. As a result, while reading these stories, the reader’s perspective expands and becomes more inclusive.

This book significantly broadens the radius of understanding—what more could one ask for to bring those living outside the social boundary into its fold?

About the author

Laxman Gaikwad

लक्ष्मण गायकवाड हे प्रख्यात मराठी लेखक आणि सामाजिक कार्यकर्ते असून त्यांनी भारतातील वंचित आणि भटक्या समाजघटकांचे वास्तव अत्यंत प्रभावीपणे आपल्या लेखनातून मांडले आहे. सामाजिक व आर्थिकदृष्ट्या मागासलेल्या परिस्थितीत त्यांचा जन्म झाला असून त्यांच्या बालपणातील कठीण अनुभवांचा त्यांच्या साहित्यनिर्मितीवर खोल परिणाम झाला. उचल्या या त्यांच्या आत्मकथनात्मक ग्रंथामुळे त्यांना व्यापक ओळख मिळाली आणि या पुस्तकासाठी त्यांना साहित्य अकादमी पुरस्काराने सन्मानित करण्यात आले. त्यांच्या साहित्याद्वारे ते सामाजिक अन्याय, गरिबी आणि मानवी सन्मान या महत्त्वाच्या विषयांवर प्रकाश टाकत मुख्य प्रवाहापासून दूर राहिलेल्या समाजघटकांना आवाज देतात. लेखनाबरोबरच ते सामाजिक कार्यातही सक्रिय असून वंचित घटकांच्या उन्नतीसाठी सातत्याने प्रयत्नशील आहेत.
