THE STORIES INCLUDED IN THIS COLLECTION TAKES YADAV S STYLE ON A SPECIFIC STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT. THE STORIES ARE A FULL PROOF OF HIS AWAKENING AS AN INCISIVE WRITER. HE CONSIDERS THE REAL RURAL LIFE, ITS MENTALITY AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE URBAN LIFE VERY MINUTELY. THE AUTHOR SUCCEEDS IN SHOWING THE GOOD AND BAD EFFECTS OF THE REFORMATION OF THE VILLAGE LIFE THROUGH EDUCATION, INDUSTRIALIZATION, DEVELOPMENTAL PROJECTS, WATER PROJECTS, PANCHAYAT PARISHAD, AND DEVELOPMENT OF AGRICULTURE VERY ARTISTICALLY. IT IS A PITY THAT ALL THESE PROJECTS WHICH WERE STARTED WITH THE GOOD INTENTION OF PROGRESS OF THE VILLAGES ARE ACTUALLY SPOILING THE VILLAGE LIFE. THE EFFECT IS NOT SOOTHING, IT S DEVASTATING. THE DOWN TRODDEN ARE ON THE VERGE OF EXTINCT. THE AUTHOR HAS ALSO STUDIED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT CASTES AND CLASSES OF THE MARATHI COMMUNITY. HE HAS ALSO CAST A LIGHT ON THE CO-RELATION BETWEEN THE VILLAGES AND TOWNS AND THE CULTURAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE HIGHLY INTELLECTUAL MIDDLE CLASS. TOGETHER, THIS COLLECTION TAKES HIM TO A CERTAIN HEIGHT. ALL THESE STORIES ARE REPRESENTING THE PRESENT MARATHI VILLAGE CULTURE AND THE OVERALL MARATHI COMMUNITY. DR. DATTATRAYA PUNDE.
