'''Bhalchandra Vanaji Nemade''' (born 1938) is an Indian [[Marathi language]] writer, poet, critic and linguistic scholar. Beginning with his [[debut novel]] ''[[Kosala (novel)|Kosala]]'', Nemade brought new dimensions to the world of [[Marathi literature]]. This was followed by a tetralogy consisting of novels ''Bidhar'', ''Hool'', ''Jareela'' and ''Jhool''. In 2013, Nemade published his magnum opus titled ''Hindu: Jagnyachi Samruddha Adgal'' ({{Lang-mr|हिंदू: जगण्याची समृद्ध अडगळ}}) which is regarded as his masterpiece. Nemade is a recipient of the [[Sahitya Akademi Award]] as well as the [[Jnanapith Award]], the highest literary honour in India.<ref>{{Cite web|date=February 8, 2015|title=Prominent Marathi litterateur Bhalachandra Nemade selected for Jnanpith Award|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/education-today/gk-current-affairs/story/prominent-marathi-litterateur-bhalachandra-nemade-selected-for-jnanpith-award-239293-2015-02-08|access-date=2021-11-25|website=India Today|language=en}}</ref> In 2013, he was awarded the [[Padma Shri]].<ref name="Padma Awards">{{cite web |url=http://mha.nic.in/sites/upload_files/mha/files/LST-PDAWD-2013.pdf |title=Padma Awards |publisher=Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India |date=2015 |access-date=21 July 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151015193758/http://mha.nic.in/sites/upload_files/mha/files/LST-PDAWD-2013.pdf |archive-date=15 October 2015
