Marathi is the official language of the Indian state of Maharashtra and is spoken by millions of people. It has a rich literary heritage, dating back to the 10th century with inscriptions and documents, and it has evolved significantly over the centuries. Marathi literature includes a wide range of genres, from classical poetry and religious texts to contemporary novels and plays.
