Zala Anant Hanumant (झाला अनंत हनुमंत)

...माझ्या काळात माणसाचं जगणं ,त्याचं भवितव्य -- म्हणजेच त्याची नियती -- ही त्याच्या हाती फारशी राहिली आहे असं मला दिसत नाही. अनेक दॄश्य आणि अदॄश्य शक्तिशाली प्रवाह माणसाला अनेक दिशांनी खेचण्याचे किंवा रेखाटण्याचे प्रत्यक्ष -- अप्रत्यक्ष अट्टाहास अखंडितपणे करीत आहेत असं दॄश्य मला दिसतं. Vijay Tendulkar (6 January 1928 – 19 May 2008) was a leading Indian playwright, movie and television writer, literary essayist, political journalist, and social commentator primarily in Marāthi. He is best known for his plays Shantata! Court Chalu Aahe (1967), Ghāshirām Kotwāl (1972), and Sakhārām Binder (1972). Many of Tendulkar's plays derived inspiration from real-life incidents or social upheavals, which provides clear light on harsh realities. He provided his guidance to students studying "playwright writing" in US universities. For over five decades Tendulkar had been a highly influential dramatist and theatre personality in Mahārāshtra.
