The 95th All India Marathi Literary Conference was inaugurated by NCP chief Sharad Pawar in Udgir in Maharashtra's Latur district. He said literature must be free and not bound by any school of thought and it had the power to bring about revolutions, the French Revolution being an example.

The 'Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Sahitya Sammelan' is being held in Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar Sahitya Nagari in Udgir, some 316 kilometres from Latur. "Many schools of thought have come out of literature. Thinkers can bring about revolutions, like the French Revolution is its example. Literature should be free and not be bound by any school of thought. Today, the focus of making literature nutritive for a specific thought process is underway and it is dangerous for democracy. It can cause anarchy," Pawar said at the event.
