Vishwanath Chintamani Bedekar (Devanagari: विश्वनाथ चिंतामणी बेडेकर) (1906–1998), who professionally used the name Vishram Bedekar (विश्राम बेडेकर), was a Marathi writer and movie director from Maharashtra, India.

Contents

Bedekar was born on August 13, 1906 in Amravati, Vidarbha. After receiving his college degree in Amravati, he went to Nagpur for his post-graduate studies. During his college days, he was drawn to English literature and theater. He moved to Pune in the 1930s.

In 1938, he married Malati Bedekar, (whose maiden name was Balutai Khare).

Literary work

Bedekar wrote his only novel Ranangan (रणांगण) in 1939. It portrayed romantic love between an Indian youth and an English girl against the backdrop of World War II, and created a storm in literary circles in his times. Bedekar received in 1985 a Sahitya Akademi Award for his autobiographical Ek Jhad Ani Don Pakshi (एक झाड आणि दोन पक्षी). He presided over Marathi Sahitya Sammelan (मराठी साहित्य सम्मेलन) in Mumbai in 1988.

  • Brahma Kumari (ब्रह्मकुमारी) (A mythological play with contemporary relevance)
  • Naro Wa Kunjaro Wa (नरो वा कुंजरो वा)
  • Waje Paul Apule (वाजे पाऊल अपुले)
  • Tilak Ani Agarkar (टिळक आणि आगरकर).
  • The last play depicted the emotional and intellectual conflict between Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Gopal Ganesh Agarkar.
