महाराष्ट्राच्या इतिहासाविषयी चालू शतकातील चालता-बोलता ज्ञानकोश म्हणजे दत्तो वामन पोतदार! आज त्यांच्या जन्मदिन. 5 ऑगस्ट 1890 रोजी महाडजवळील बीरवाडी येथे त्यांचा जन्म झाला. मराठी, हिंदी, संस्कृत, उर्दू आणि इंग्रजी भाषेवर प्रभुत्व असलेल्या पोतदारांनी मराठ्यांच्या इतिहासालाच आपले जीवनसर्वस्व मानले होते. भारत इतिहास संशोधन मंडळ, मराठी साहित्य परिषद, शिक्षण प्रसारक मंडळी, राष्ट्रभाषा प्रचार समिती अशा अनेक संस्थांशी ते संबंधित होते. 

मराठ्यांच्या इतिहासाचा अभ्यास, संशोधन आणि व्यासंग याला वाहून घेतलेल्या पोतदारांनी ‘मराठी गद्याचा इंग्रजी अवतार’,‘विविध दर्शन’, ‘मी युरोपात काय पाहिले’,‘शिवचरित्राचे पैलू’ यांसारखे ग्रंथ लिहिले. हिंदी साहित्य संमेलनाने त्यांना ‘साहित्य वाचस्पती’ ही पदवी दिली, तर केंद्र शासनाने ‘महामहोपाध्याय’ या पदवीने गौरविले. 1933 ते 36 या काळात ‘महाराष्ट्र साहित्य पत्रिके’चे संपादन करणारे पोतदार 1939 मध्ये अहमदनगर येथील मराठी साहित्य संमेलनाचे अध्यक्ष होते. टिळक महाराष्ट्र विद्यापीठ आणि पुणे विद्यापीठाचे ते कुलगुरू होते. 6 ऑक्टोबर 1979 रोजी ते अनंतात विलीन झाले.

Datto Vaman Potdar

(5 August 1890 – 6 October 1979)

Dava Potdar 2.jpg
Mahamahopadhyay Datto Vaman Potdar was famous as a national level history researcher, Sanskrit scholar, studious intellectual and great orator. As a public figure in educational, social, literary and cultural life of Maharashtra, he was recognized as ‘walking encyclopedia.’ He left an imprint of his multifarious personality on the cultural life of Maharashtra for about six-seven decades between 1910 and 1975. He extended its scope and enriched it. No aspect of knowledge and learning was unknown to him. Naturally he was able to shoulder responsibilities in academic field as Professor and Leader of institutions. Though busy in his own work, he was personally connected with so many people.
D.V. Potdar was born at Birwadi in Mahad taluka of Colaba. His father being an advocate, the family settled at Pune. He studied in Nutan Marathi Vidyalay and cleared his matriculation in 1906. Later he got his degree from Fergusson College in 1910. Being an active social worker, his father was always in the company of stalwarts like Lokmanya Tilak, S.M. Paranjpe, history scholar Rajwade, Kawadeshastri, N.C.Kelkar and Tatyasaheb Karandikar. The atmosphere of learning at home shaped young Potdar’s personality. Though he joined the L.L.B. course, he worked as part time teacher in Shikshan Prasarak Mandali, Pune. Then he taught History and Marathi in S.P.College (formerly New Poona College). He also worked as Supervisor of Nutan Marathi Vidyalay. He was a scholarly, entertaining and popular teacher. When historian Rajwade and K.C. Mehendale established the Bharat Itihaas Sanshodhak Mandal at Pune, he entered into it. It was Rajwade who created in him interest in history and research. Owing to his obsession with historical research, he not only worked in Itihaas Sanshodhak Mandal sincerely throughout his life but also changed his name as ‘Datto Vaman’ on the lines of ‘Khando Ballal’, ‘Anaji Datto’ and ‘Naro Appaji.’ To study historical papers of ancient times he not only wandered all over Maharashtra but also visited far off places like Peshawar, Takshshila, Benaras, Kolkata, Madras, Rajasthan and Tanjawar. He also went abroad for history research many times.
He was especially interested in Maratha history and Marathi literature. He wrote several scholarly notes and articles in History Research Mandal’s magazine and elsewhere. His book Marathi Gaddyacha Ingraji Avatar (1922) was one of the first attempts of literary history writing for the 1810-1874 period in British era. He analyzed the growth of Marathi prose of the period in it. He wrote the history of Marathi Sahitya Parishad’s early period between 1906 and 1942 and the history of Marathi Sahitya Sammelans during 1878 -1942 period. Some of his edited books were quite remarkable. For example, Devdaskruta Santmalika (1913), Shrishivdinkesari Virchit Dnyanpradip (1934). He wrote books on different topics: Prantik Bhashanche Bavitavya (1935), Bhashawaar Vidyapithe (1937), Maharashtratil Saundarya sthale (1937), Purogami Vangmay-Dona tipane (1937-38), Aitihaasik Charitralekhan (1938). His stray articles on various subjects are published in the book Potdar: Vivid Darshan (1939). His articles on Rajwade, Ketkar, Tatyasaheb Kelkar, Mahatma Gandhi, Khadilkar and Atre are collected in the book Sumansaptak (1950). His articles on the problem of languages are published in Bharatachi Bhasha Samasya (1968). He also wrote the following books: Shri Thorale Madhavrao Peshave (1928), Marathi Itihas va Itihas Ssanshodhan (1935), Dagadaanchi Kahani and Chorawar Mor. The last book he wrote was Lokamanya Tilakanche Saangaati. The Government of Maharashtra had given him the assignment to write the biography of Shivaji Maharaj. However he could not complete it. As he used the time at his disposal for lecturing and guiding various institutions, he could not write as much as he should have. His written contribution therefore is comparatively scanty.
He had taken active part in the work of various (more than 70) institutions. He was a Life Member of Shikshan Prasarak Mandali, Pune from 1915. Wherever work was undertaken to help and protect Marathi, Potdar was there to support. Out of that interest, he worked for Marathi Sahitya Parishad: as editor of Parishd’s Sahitya Patrika in 1933-36 and as President in 1943. He was elected as President of Marathi Sahitya Sammelan held at Ahmednagar in 1939. He was one of the founder members of Marathi Granthalay which had a tradition of more than hundred years. He took interest in Vasant Vyakyaanmala too. He was Vice President of Sanyukta Maharashtra Parishad during 1946-50. For many years he was Vice Chancellor and Chancellor of Tilak Marashtra Vidyapeeth. He was President of Sanskrit Mandal, Hindustani Board, Hindi Shikshan Samiti. He was member of Central Government’s Aitihasik Abhilekh Aayog. He worked for a long time as Secretary (1918-47) and President (1948-74) of Bharat Itihaas Sanshodhak Mandal. He organized the first All India History Conference at Pune to give the right direction for history research in 1935 and later he helped organize such conferences all over the country. He founded two important institutions: Modern Indian History Congress and Maharashtra Bhasha Sabha. He was active for establishing a university in Maharashtra for a long time. His efforts were successful when Pune University was established in 1948. Later he worked as its Vice Chancellor in during1960-63. As Vice Chancellor, it was he who made the first Convocation Address in Marathi. He was also the interim Vice Chancellor of the University in 1970. Under his guidance, literary institutions from Pune, Mumbai and Aurangabad came together to establish Akhil Bhartiya Marathi Sahitya Mahamandal of which he became the first President. He had great interest in Marathi orthography. Sahitya Mahamandal prepared 14 rules concerning Marathi writing under his guidance. The Government of Maharashtra officially accepted them as standard in 1962.
The great quality of D.V. Potdar was his oratory. His speech was clear; he had mastery over languages like Marathi, Hindi, Sanskrit and English. It was a great treat to listen to him because of his clear thinking and scholarship in many fields. It was through his oratory that he led many institutions as well as the society. His lectures are collected and published in book form. The central government recognized his scholarship by bestowing upon him the title Mahamahopadhyay. Later he was awarded the Padmabhushan too. The Hindi Sahitya Sammelan gave him the title Sahitya Vachaspati. He was decorated with honorary D. Litt from Pune and Varanasi universities.
During the last few years of his life, he moved from Pune to ‘Anandidhaam,’ a house in Wai (Satara). But owing to his association with Pune, he was not happy at Wai. So he kept visiting Pune quite often. Potdar was unmarried so he handed over his house and the huge collection of books to Shikshan Prasarak Mandali a few years before his death. He died at Pune at the age of 90 on 6 October 1979.
