Noted Dalit writer Pradnya Pawar and Dalit scholar Raosaheb Kasabe were reportedly forced to leave a Marathi literary meet over their “objectionable” comments on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
The meet was organised at Patan in adjoining Satara district by Maharashtra Sahitya Parishad and the alleged incident took place on Sunday when a mob asked the duo to leave the event for “hurting” the sentiments of the Maratha community with their remarks on the 17th century warrior king.http://www.outlookindia.com/newswire/story/dalit-writers-forced-to-leave-marathi-literary-meet-over-shivaji-remarks/957013
