It is a fictitious autobiographical novel of one Pandurang Sangvikar, a youth from rural [[Maharashtra]] who studies in a college in [[Pune]]; but it is loosely based on Nemade's own life in his youth. Sangvikar, the narrator in ''Kosala'', uses everyday Marathi spoken in rural Maharashtra and his worldview also reflects that held by residents of rural Maharashtra. ''Kosala'' is a chronological autobiographical narration, yet it employs certain innovative techniques. Thus, Sangvikar describes one year in his life in the form of a witty diary. As another innovative technique, the narration describes "historical investigations" often undertaken by Sangvikar and his friend Suresh Bapat, which ultimately uncover to them the absurdity and tragedy of their present condition. ''Kosla'' is extensively translated into various languages including English, Hindi, Gujarati, Kannada, Assamese, Punjabi, Bengali, Urdu, Oriya, et al. After ''Kosala'', Nemade presented a different protagonist, Changadev Patil, through his four novels ''Bidhar'' ({{Lang-mr\|बिढार}}),<ref name="BIdhar">{{cite book \|title=Bidhar(बिढार) \|last=Nemade \|first=Bhalchandra \|year=2003 \|publisher=Popular Prakashan \|location=Mumbai \|isbn= 978-81-267-0298-5 \|pages=305 }}</ref> ''Hool'' ({{Lang-mr\|हूल}}), ''Jarila'' ({{Lang-mr\|जरीला}}) and ''Jhool'' ({{Lang-mr\|झूल}}). Another tetralogy begins with ''Hindu – Jagnyachi Samruddha Adgal'' ({{Lang-mr\|हिंदू – जगण्याची समृद्ध अडगळ}}) in 2010 having Khanderao, the archaeologist as its protagonist. The differences between Sangvikar and Patil are not confined to just their age, profession, habits, and intellectual and emotional perception: While Sangvikar at times keeps the world at bay or even rejects the world, Patil is all for the world and is forever engaged in confronting and understanding it. Sangvikar is mercurial, Patil is more realistic, whereas Khanderao's consciousness moves across 5000 years to Indus Valley culture in the ''Hindu'' tetralogy. Line 43 ⟶ 44: As a critic, Nemade's contribution rests in initiating ''Deshivad'', a theory that negates globalisation or internationalism, asserting the value of writers' native heritage, indicating that Marathi literature ought to try to revive its native base and explore its indigenous sources. Nemade antagonised his contemporaries by contending that the short story is a genre inferior to that of the novel. Nemade won the prestigious [[Jnanpith Award]] in February 2015. He was the fourth laureate receiving the award for work in Marathi language.<ref>{{cite news\|last1=Nandgaonkar\|first1=Satish\|title=Marathi novelist Bhalchandra Nemade chosen for Jnanpith award\|url=http://www.thehindu.com/books/books-authors/marathi-novelist-bhalchandra-nemade-chosen-for-jnanpith-award/article6865738.ece\|~~accessdate~~access-date=25 May 2018\|date=6 February 2015}}</ref> Winner of the [[Sahitya Akademi Award]], he was conferred with [[Padma Shri]] in 2011 by Government of India.<ref name=pad>{{cite web \|title=Padma Awards Directory (1954–2013) \|publisher=[[Ministry of Home Affairs (India)\|Ministry of Home Affairs]] \|quote=2011: 98: Prof.(Dr) Bhalchandra Vana Nemade \|url=http://mha.nic.in/sites/upload_files/mha/files/LST-PDAWD-2013.pdf \|url-status=dead \|~~archiveurl~~archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151015193758/http://mha.nic.in/sites/upload_files/mha/files/LST-PDAWD-2013.pdf \|~~archivedate~~archive-date=15 October 2015 ~~\|df=dmy~~ }}</ref> ==Bibliography== '''Novels''' * Hindu – Jagnyachi Samruddha Adgal ({{Lang-mr\|हिंदू – जगण्याची समृद्ध अडगळ}})], published by Popular Prakashan, Mumbai * [[Kosala (novel)\|Kosala]] ({{Lang-mr\|कोसला}}, Popular Prakashan, Mumbai * Bidhar ({{Lang-mr\|बिढार}}), Popular Prakashan, Mumbai * Hool ({{Lang-mr\|हूल}}), Popular Prakashan, Mumbai * Jarila ({{Lang-mr\|जरीला}}), Popular Prakashan, Mumbai * Jhool ({{Lang-mr\|झूल}}), Popular Prakashan, Mumbai '''Poetry collections''' * Melody ({{Lang-mr\|मेलडी}}), Vacha Prakashan, Aurangabad * Dekhani ({{Lang-mr\|देखणी}}), Popular Prakashan, Mumbai '''Criticism''' Line 71 ⟶ 72: * Sola Bhashane, Loka Wangmaya Griha, Mumbai. * Nativism (Desivad), Indian Institute of Advanced Study, Shimla * How Much Space Does an Indian Writer Need?:Literary Standards-Native, Western, Global, Sahitya Academi, New Delhi ==See also== * [[List of Indian writers]] ==References== Line 79 ⟶ 83: {{commons category\|Bhalchandra Nemade}} * {{Gbooks-author\|Bhālacandra Nemāḍe}} [https://web.archive.org/web/20150207100340/http://civilservicesjunction.blogspot.in/2015/02/daily-news-mail-news-of-07022015.html Civil Services Junction], ''Civil Services Junction'', 7 February 2015.
