<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->As an offshoot of his movement of purification of Marathi language, he has introduced many new words in Marathi. Some examples are doordarshan (television), doormudrak (teleprinter), dhwanikshepak (microphone), digdarshak (director), nepathya (screenplay), veshbhoosha (costume), vetan (salary), kramaank (number), vidhi (law), vidhimandal (legislature), sampaadak (editor), keelak rashtra (buffer nation) (*the word dinaank for âdateâ was coined by Savarkarâs elder brother Babarao). Verily, one can identify two ages of Marathi literature viz. pre- and post- Savarkar.
