0 THE TRIBALS AND MADHAVRAO KANE

The tribals are generally considered to be ignorant, socially backward and addicted to various vices and as such, have been isolated from social advancement as well as deprived of the benefits of science and technology. The government provides for them schools, medical centres and boarding schools. But, clearly, that is not enough. It is necessary to develop cultural values and social attitudes among them. They must be assimilated in the mainstream of society and be able to live with self-respect. The scheme of establishing Hostels for them was planned with this objective in mind. An evolution has been taking place thanks to the infinite patience...

0 MADHAV BECOMES VANAVASI WORKER

by Shri Ram B. GodboleMadhav's house was recognized to be a Sangh house right from the first. Thousands of Sangh volunteers have been working diligently to create awareness of Hindutva in Hindu society and the Sangh Parivar is engaged in this task for the last 71 years. Madhav was one such ideal Sangh volunteer who had offered everything on the altar of the holy cause. Honest to the extreme, he had no vices and was endowed with rich human qualities. I don't understand why such a person was taken away by God from us.Madhav was working for the Jansangh from its beginning in 1952. He started off doing the smallest chores like putting up wall posters...

0 OUR MADHAVKAKA(A brief life-sketch)

0 MY GUARDIAN 'MADHAVRAO'

By Chintamani Vanaga, M.P.Rambhau Kapse broke to me the sad news of the demise of Shri Madhavrao Kane when I was in the midst of a Press Conference. Intense grief filled my heart but, although with a heavy heart, I managed to control my emotions till I reached home. And then the overwrought mind burst into tears. It was impossible to imagine that Madhavrao was no more in this world and I would never be able to see him again.Among the panorama of reminiscences, what was most etched on my memory was my last meeting with him in Thane hospital. On his death bed, which he had certainly sensed by that time, his only regret was that he would not be...

0 SIR, WHO MADE LEADERS OF ORDINARY STUDENTS

By Vishnu Savra, M.L.A.Everybody who visits the Talasari Tribal Welfare Centre leaves it with the impression that it is an ideal Centre. Today, it has mushroomed into a large project. However, the tremendous efforts taken by Shri Madhavrao Kane in bringing it up to its present shape are simply unparalleled. He did not limit his work to providing only Hostel facilities to the students but took care to divine their potential qualities and endeavour to bring out the best of every student so that in future they would distinguish themselves in their chosen careers.Talasari Centre was not a hostel but a home for all of us. We senior students called...

0 HE NEVER TOOK NO FOR AN ANSWER

By Uttamrao PatilI shall always remember my first meeting with Madhavrao Kane in Kalyan. With a look at his sparsely built personality, I instinctively felt his urge to be service to others.Although, it was he who swayed the stronghold of the Shetkari Kamgar Paksha (Peasants and Workers Party) in favour of the Jansangh, he himself never had his heart in politics. It was inevitable that he should turn to work for the welfare of tribals and the poor. Later also, he did work in politics, but it was for getting the tribals elected.In politics, there are three types of people. One type is of financially well off people with clout, who go on adding...

0 A FATHER-FIGURE WHO LIT A CHAIN OF LIGHTS

By Appa JoshiI joined the Talasari centre on 7th June 1969 and on the very first day Madhavrao established a relationship between us of father and son which remained unchanged for all the 27 years that followed. Soon after I started working, he declared himself to be free to do other work as then onward it would be I who would look after the centre. But was I ready to take on this responsibility? Certainly not at that time, but Madhavrao inculcated in me various qualities of leadership as well as of devoted worker with great patience, care and a soft touch, guiding me on all subjects and teaching me how to behave under different circumstances.Although...

0 A GUIDING BEACON.....

In his last days, whenever I went to meet Shri Kane, his doctors told me that he was a most unique patient who, in spite of having clear knowledge of his impending end, did not get depressed, annoyed or irritated. On the contrary, he was understanding and tolerant over their small mistakes. I found him talking to his friends with the love and assurance of a father, soothing them with his guidance, and counseling his Vanavasi friends as usual..........To solve social issues and build a nation, it is more important to build character. The Sangh has adopted this path to steer the nation toward progress. Position and publicity has its own place in...

0 FOUNTAIN OF INSPIRATION

On hearing the news of the tragic passing away of my dear friend and colleague Madhavrao - one of our most outstanding and unique type of workers, too rare to come across in these days - my thoughts went back by a few decades ... Dedicated workers like Madhavrao have today changed the whole concept of social work......The Late Madhavrao Kane plunged into this work, dedicating his whole life silently. So much so that his life became fully identified with that of the Vanavasis. The result of his nearly three decades of dedication can be seen today in the resurgent youth of the Vanavasi areas of Thane district. ...We find hundreds and thousands...

.....Shri Damuanna Tokekar launched the Hindu Seva Sangh at Theronde and took the first step. Responding to his call, this intrepid warrior, Madhavrao Kane, left the Presidentship of Kalyan Municipality and went miles and miles away to Talasari sworn to walk on the thorn-ridden road of service to tribals. He never looked back. ...One lamp went out but not without lighting thousands of others. ....The multitude of students determined to follow in his footsteps represent a great acknowledgement of his massive achievement... Kane worked like an ever burning lamp to bring his work to this stage, and I feel that his followers should work towards creating...
