Dattaram Maruti Mirasdar (14 April 1927 - 2 October 2021), popularly known by his initials ("D Ma" and also as "Dadasaheb") was a Marathi writer and narrator principally of humorous stories.[1]

Early life and education

Mirasdar was born on 14 April 1927 in Akluj and went to school in Pandharpur. He earned M.A. from the Sir Parashurambhau College in Pune and became a teacher in 1952. He became a professor of Marathi in a college in Pune in 1961.[1][2]

Career

Many of Mirasdar's humorous stories revolve around village life in Maharashtra. However, some of his stories concern the serious social issues and lives of the poor living in villages. His stories Gavat, Ranmanus, Kone Eke Kali, Bhavaki, Hubehub, and Sparsha belong to the latter class.[3][4][5]

His first public program as a writer was held in 1962 in Nagpur.[6]

For some years, Shankar Patil, Vyankatesh Madgulkar, and Mirasdar jointly presented, in different towns in Maharashtra, highly popular public recitations of their short stories.[7][8]

Mirasdar was the Acting President of Maharashtra Sahitya Parishad, Pune.[9] In 1998, he was the president of the 71st Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Sahitya Sammelan in Parli, Maharashtra.[2] In 2015, he received the Vinda Karandikar Jeevan Gaurav Puraskar from the Department of Marathi Language, Government of Maharashtra.[10][11][12] In 2018, he was awarded the first-ever Sahityaseva Krutadnyata Puraskar.[13]
