Nangarni (literally, ploughing) is a sequel to Zombee by the same author. After a brave struggle the author completed his schooling but when he announced his intention to pursue his education he met a cold response from his parents. The family lived dismal poverty. His father, a landless agriculture laborer; and his mother with additional family responsibility worked hard to make the two ends meet. They wanted him to earn and support the family. It was a тАШTo be or not to beтАЩ situation for the author. Nangarni is the lucid account of how Dr. Anand Yadav who rose to become the Head the Department of Marathi in Pune University accomplished his dream. It was not a cake walk for the teenager. He had financial uncertainty hanging on him like the DamoclesтАЩ sword. Practically, every year he had to find a source of income to support himself. Educational facilities were not as widespread as they are now He faced humiliation for very small things such as his pronunciation. The parents could not get along well and his sisters had to be married. The title throws light on how Dr.Yadav became a man of letters. Dr. Yadav writes gratefully about all who helped him. Even as he is busy in his studies Dr. Yadav does not forget his roots and carries out his family duties. The references to the social and political events such as the Samyukta Maharashtra Movement or the Land Tenancy Act and their influence on the authorтАЩs life are interesting. Anand Yadav (b.1935) is one of the pioneers of Marathi literature that portrays rural Maharashtra. A prolific writer whose works have win many awards at the state level, his present work, Zombee, has bagged the prestigious Sahitya Akademi Award for the nest work in Marathi in 1990. рдХрдгрдЦрд░ рд╕рдХрд╕рддрд╛ рдЖрдгрдгреНрдпрд╛рд╕рд╛рдареА рднреВрдореАрдирдВ рд╕реНрд╡рдд:рд╡рд░ рдзрд╛рд░рджрд╛рд░ рдЕрд╡рдЬрд╛рд░рд╛рдВрдиреА рдЖрдбрд╡реЗ рдЙрднреЗ рдШрд╛рд╡ рдШрд╛рд▓реВрди рдШреЗрдгреЗ рдЖрдгрд┐ рд╕реВрд░реНрдпрднрдЯреНрдЯреАрдд рдЕрдВрддрд░реНрдмрд╛рд╣реНрдп рд╣реЛрд░рдкрд│рдгреЗ рдореНрд╣рдгрдЬреЗ рдирд╛рдВрдЧрд░рдгреА. рдЙрддреНрддрдо рдкрд┐рдХрд╛рдВрдЪреНрдпрд╛ рд╕рдореГрджреНрдзреАрд╕рд╛рдареА рд╢реЗрдд-рдорд│реНрдпрд╛рдВрд╡рд░ рд╣рд┐рд░рд╡реАрдЧрд╛рд░ рд╕рд╛рдп рд╕рд╛рдХрд│рд╛рд╡реА; рдЕрдВрдЧрд╛рдЦрд╛рдВрджреНрдпрд╛рдВрд╡рд░рдЪреНрдпрд╛ рдЧрд╛рдИрдЧреБрд░рд╛рдВрдирд╛, рдорд╛рдгрд╕рд╛рдХрд╛рдгрд╕рд╛рдВрдирд╛, рдХрд┐рдбреНрдпрд╛рдореБрдВрдЧреНрдпрд╛рдВрдирд╛, рдЪрд┐рдордгреНрдпрд╛-рдкрд╛рдЦрд░рд╛рдВрдЪреНрдпрд╛ рдЗрд╡рд▓реНрдпрд╛ рдЪреЛрдЪреАрдВрдирд╛ рдореВрдардореВрда-рдЪрд┐рдореВрдЯрдЪрд┐рдореВрдЯ рдЪрд╛рд░рд╛рдЪрдгрд╛ рдорд┐рд│рд╛рд╡рд╛; рдореНрд╣рдгреВрди рднреВрдореАрдирдВ рд╕реНрд╡рдд:рдЪреА рд╕реЛрд╢рд┐рдХрдкрдгреЗ рдХреЗрд▓реЗрд▓реА рдЙрд░рд╕реНрдлреЛрдб рдореНрд╣рдгрдЬреЗ рдирд╛рдВрдЧрд░рдгреА. рдЗрдЪреНрдЫрд╛-рдЖрдХрд╛рдВрдХреНрд╖рд╛рдВрдЪреА рдкреВрд░реНрддрддрд╛ рдХрд░рдгрд╛рд░рд╛ рдкрд╛рдКрд╕ рдХреГрдкрд╛рд╡рдВрдд рд╣реЛрдКрди рдкрдбрд╛рд╡рд╛ рдореНрд╣рдгреВрди рддрд╣рд╛рдирд▓реЗрд▓реНрдпрд╛ рдкреГрдереНрд╡реАрдирдВ рд╡рд╛рд╕рд▓реЗрд▓реА рдЪреЛрдЪ рдореНрд╣рдгрдЬреЗ рдирд╛рдВрдЧрд░рдгреА. рдирд╛рдВрдЧрд░рдгреА рдореНрд╣рдгрдЬреЗ рд╣рд┐рд░рд╡реНрдпрд╛ рдЪреИрддрдиреНрдпрд╛рд▓рд╛ рдЬрдиреНрдо рджреЗрдК рдкрд╛рд╣рдгрд╛рд▒реНрдпрд╛ рд╕рд░реНрдЬрдиреЛрддреНрд╕реБрдХ рднреВрдореАрдЪреА рдШреБрд╕рдордЯрдгрд╛рд░реА рдирд┐рд░реНрдорд┐рддрд┐рдкреВрд░реНрд╡ рдХрд░реБрдгрд╛рд╡рд╕реНрдерд╛.
