    1. Hi Dr. Jadhav,
      since I did not prepare in Marathi, I do not have proper information on marathi books for Sociology.. but I have heard that notes from Yashwantrao Chavan Mukta Vidyapeeth are good. Have a look at them. And I will find a list of good marathi books on sociology and let you know..
