रानभुली (Marathi: रानभुली) is a collection of short stories by G. N. Dandekar. It was first published in 1942 by Mrunmayi Prakashan. The stories are set in the rural areas of Maharashtra and deal with the lives of ordinary people. They are characterized by their simplicity, warmth, and humor. The title story, "Ranbhuli", tells the story of a young woman who is married to an older man. She is unhappy in her marriage and longs for a more fulfilling life. One day, she meets a young man who is also unhappy in his marriage. The two of them fall in love and run away together. However, their happiness is short-lived. They are soon caught and brought back to their respective villages. The young woman is forced to return to her husband, while the young man is beaten and imprisoned. The other stories in the collection deal with a variety of other topics, such as poverty, caste discrimination, and the conflict between tradition and modernity. Dandekar's writing is often praised for its realism and its ability to capture the essence of rural life in Maharashtra. Ranbhuli is a classic work of Marathi literature and is considered one of Dandekar's best works. It has been translated into several languages, including English, Hindi, and Urdu.
