About Annasaheb Kirloskar
- Balwant Pandurang Kirloskar (Devanagari: ????? ???????? ??????????) (31 March 1843 - 2 November 1885), popularly known as Annasaheb Kirloskar, was a Marathi playwright from Maharashtra, India. Kirloskar was born on March 31, 1843 at Gurlhosur in Belgaum district to a Karhade Brahmin family. After completing schooling in his native place, at the age of twenty, Annasaheb moved to Pune to pursue further education.
- His overwhelming interest, however, lay in theatre and he faced parental pressure for his continued disinterest in formal education.
- His father pressurised him to return to his native Belgaum. To support himself, Kirloskar then worked for eight years as a school teacher in Belgaum; he subsequently worked for a few years in the police department and then as a clerk in the revenue commissioner's office.
- Despite his lack of much formal education, Kirloskar was well-versed in Sanskrit literature.
