Description:

Khande's Vision for a New India offers a deep dive into the insightful mind of the renowned Marathi litterateur V. S. Khande, who masterfully blended his writing with social awareness and a profound concern for societal progress. Known for his versatile writing styles and profound skills, Khande did not write merely for entertainment, but with the aim to reflect on and improve society.

His articles, steeped in thoughtful consideration and keen observation, laid down the principles for building a modern society. Khande’s dream was to shape a country founded on Gandhian principles—one where equality, dignity of labor, love for the country, and purity of heart would prevail. His writings stressed the importance of science, education, and social justice as the cornerstones of a new India.

Khande envisioned a modern woman as educated, prudent, and empowered, while the common man was to be virtuous and just. He believed that, when ignited with the right knowledge and values, people would willingly contribute to the growth of the nation. He stressed that understanding his writings is essential to grasping the depth of his aspiration for the creation of a society based on fairness, justice, and equality.

This collection of Khande’s articles is not only an intellectual exercise but also an invitation to reflect on how his ideals can be applied in today’s world. Through his visionary thoughts, readers are urged to strive for the realization of the New India that Khande fervently wished for.
