(Arun Naik, Bapurao Naik's elder son speaks at the Mumbai Marathi Sahitya Sangh kickstarting Bapurao Naik's centenary year celebrations).
Around this time Sahitya Sangh started the Na Ra Phatak Samshodhan Kendra. My father was interested in paying more attention to this research wing. But that did not happen. It would have been another achievement. Later the president Gangadhar Gadgil undertook some activity here with Vasant Abaji Dahake and Prabha Ganorkar. He formed a small committee with these two persons and me and the project was: ‘Mumbai in Literature’. I too could not find time. But Dahake and Ganorkar did some work. The Centre is now defunct.
Bapurao supervised the revival of Sahitya, being a very well-known publication of Sahitya Sangh, with Umakant Thomre as editor. But that was for a very short while.
