— The spirit of Madhukar Dattatreya Devaras
The Story
Born in 1908, Madhukar Dattatreya Devaras was drawn in his youth to the national movement and to the ideal of the nation's service. He became a devoted worker of the cause, serving the organisations of the national awakening with energy and selflessness for decades.
His work was the quiet, unceasing service that builds a nation — organising, teaching, and serving wherever the movement needed him. The account of his life in the Bharata Bharati series remembers him as a man of complete devotion to the nation's good.
He died in 1989, honoured as one of the devoted workers of the national awakening. His life — the quiet service of a lifetime — remains part of the great roll of the builders of the modern nation.
