Silence! The Court is in Session About the Dramatist: Vijay Tendulkar Vijay Dhondopant Tendulkar was born on 6th January, 1928 in Kolhapur, Maharashtra which was then colonial India. He died on 19th May 2008 in Pune, Maharashtra, India. He was one of the renowned Marathi playwrights of the country. Most of his plays are based on real incidents which throw light upon various aspects of the society. His plays are translated and performed into many Indian and non-Indian languages. Personally, he has also translated many literary works from Marathi to other Indian languages. Thus, one cannot confine him to Marathi language and literature alone. Tendulakr’s father Dhondopant worked as a clerk at a British publishing house and later started a small publishing house of his own too. Their house used to be full of books and many writers frequently used to visit them. On Sundays his father used to take him to his friend’s book shops and his father always encouraged him to read more. Thu
