Biography
Dattaram Maruti Mirasdar (Devanagari: दत्ताराम मारुती मिरासदार) (born on 14 April 1927) is a Marathi writer and narrator principally of humorous stories. He hails from Pandharpur (Maharashtra).
Many of Mirasdar's humorous stories revolve around village life in Maharashtra. However, some of his stories concern the serious social issues and lives of the poor living in villages. His stories Gavat, Ranmanus, Kone Eke Kali, Bhavaki, Hubehub, and Sparsha belong to the latter class.
For some years, Shankar Patil, Vyankatesh Madgulkar, and Mirasdar jointly presented, in different towns in Maharashtra, highly popular public recitations of their short stories.
Mirasdar was a professor of Marathi in a college in Pune. He is currently the Acting President of Maharashtra Sahitya Parishad, Pune.
