This book is the life story of
Shri Bapusaheb Patil from a small village, Ekamba. This village is situated
on the borders of three states: Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra.
The border struggle historically started because of the inclusion of certain
areas that spoke Marathi and owed their adherence and commitment to
Maharashtra but were included in the state of Karnataka.
This problem of border struggle is
still there even after so many years. ‘Bapusaheb’ decided to resolve this
problem and took various substantial and proactive steps. He had a genuine
love and respect for Marathi and Maharashtra.
|
He fought a lone battle in support of
865 Marathi-speaking villages and towns, forcibly included into Karnataka and
struggled for a unified Maharashtra until his death.
He was the only leader of Marathi
speaking innocent people in this border area.
His struggle is a source of
inspiration for millions of people. In order to educate people, he started various
educational institutions through KSP Mandal. He was also worried about poor
people.
His major contributions are logically
documented in this biography. The language of this book is matter-of-fact.
The book is supplemented with proper appendices which give the chronological
details of events of his life and also a list of 865 villages and towns which
were affected by this movement. This is a precious authentic document for the
researchers of this movement.
Dr. J.M. Waghmare, the founding vice-chancellor
of SRTM University, Ex-MP and contemporary of Shri Bapusaheb, has written the
Foreword of this book. This biography is being launched officially on 5th
Oct 2015 by Dr. J.M. Waghmare. Indubitably it is a wonderful biography by Dr
Arvind M Nawale.
