This historical epoch was propelled forward by the growth of Maratha Historiography grounded in diligent study, as well as the abundance of folk tales prevalent in pockets of the Western Deccan, which served as inspiration for the creation of historical plays and films over the past two centuries. Bhalji Pendharkar emerged as a pioneer in bringing this era to a broader audience through cinema in the latter half of the 20th Century. While many of his historical films may not be readily available, those that continue to captivate audiences today. The inherent flaws common to all historical films are equally applicable to his productions. However, when compared to modern historical films set in the same period, Bhalji's works stand out significantly. This paper critically examines and evaluates Bhalji Pendharkar's history films - Chhatrapati Shivaji (1952), Maharani Yesubai (1954), and Maratha Tituka Melavava (1964) - to illuminate their themes, contemporary influences, and cinematic aesthetics, thereby uncovering their historical value.

The spirit of dialogue possessed in our ancestors amidst a shared history has transformed her as the land of unity in diversity. To celebrate Indian multiculturalism, the Government of India has launched ‘Ek Bharat Shreshth Bharat’ Campaign since 2015. Under the campaign, Every State and Union Territory has been paired with another to carry out intercultural exchanges. Maharashtra-Odisha is one of them. The inter-regional relations between these two states can be traced from the Ancient Period. This paper will shed light on how Vaishnavism and Maratha zeal to rule over India developed the cultural exchange between Maharashtra and Odisha during Medieval Times.

Keywords: Multiculturalism, Ek Bharat Shreshth Bharat, Vaishnavism, Maratha Rule.

Despite its modest size, it played a pivotal role in history as a small village, river port, and vibrant weekly bazaar during 20th Century CE. The village's weekly bazaar, once the heartbeat of commerce, and its modest river port with special reference to the seven decades (1900s–1970s), became focal points for this exploration. Through qualitative insights from oral histories, this paper illuminates the community spirit and the interconnected dynamics that define Maladi's unique identity. The narrative transcends the ordinary, revealing a resilient village that defied its size, standing as a testament to the enduring richness found in the convergence of community life, commerce, and cultural traditions within the embrace of a small village.

More importantly it shades light upon the two hitherto neglected episodes from the 20th Century which showcase a strong aspiration for upward mobility among Gabits and achieving recognition as ‘Maratha/ Kshatriya’ rather than simply being known as fishermen. In the course, the dissertation examines the challenges to the aspiration and situates them in the wider dynamics of these times.
