why do all stories have unhappy endings? this book is just awesome, but due to its distressed closure, rating it at 4...feel it should have been ended with a positive note...nyways, the story is very interesting & exciting till climax, a newly trained teacher got a job in a remote village of maharashtra where there was a school just for the sake of it, the school & studies for vilagers children was a matter of joke. Education was not a serious job & was considered as an optional/part

A heart touching literature. It shows the stereotypes & heritages of 90s villages. It represents renunciation & conditions of people. In short life of 'Alpa-Santoshi'.
Exceptionally amazing.

I found this book okay. Could have found better, had I read this one 2 years ago.
“रंज की जब गुफतगू होने लगी आप से तुम तुम से तू होने लगी” is a famous gazhal by Daag Dehalwi. I like the original sung by Ghulam Ali and one Hari Haran sang too. The tune is awesome, but the lyrics are amazing as well. Like everything worth doing, it gets better with time. And that’s what the gazhal says. Reading good stuff has the same experience. Some books are to be read and some are to be reread several times. “Bangarwadi” belongs to the latter category.

Amazing book......the language speaks a lot here....how the teacher got adjusted to school here.. how the different characters were introduced in his life there...just very nice book...how exactly is the village life....the way people behave....everything is very nicely written......!!!!
Its a Marathi Classic. Lover of rustic life like me wont put it down until the last page is finished. Gripping narration and beautiful story of a school teacher
pre-independence India brought alive through the lives of Dhangars and Ramoshis....
A picture of village.
