Wikipedia description:

Vasudeo Sitaram Bendrey (abbr. V. S. Bendrey) (13 February 1894 (unverified) – 16 July 1986) was historian, author, editor, translator and publisher in Marathi language. He is known as Bhishmacharya of Marathi History. He dedicated his work for research in Maharashtra history and wrote, edited and translated over 60 books on different history topics. He is well known for searching first known image of Shivaji. Before this image, the look of Shivaji was not known to people. With research of many years he wrote first full-proof biography of Sambhaji, son of Shivaji and second Chhatrapati of Maratha Empire. This book technically clarified the image of Sambhaji. He also searched the actual samādhi of Sambhaji which is located in Vadhu Budruk village in Pune District, Maharashtra. He wrote the book Sadhan Chikitsa in 1928. This book was considered to be his first historical volume because many historians of the time considered it to be a must read book for aspiring historians and researchers of Maratha history. His other notable work includes the books on Sant Tukaram, Rajaram I, Shahaji, Maloji. He was also member of committee of deciding the actual birth date of Shivaji aka Shiv Jayanti formed by Government of Maharashtra in 1966.
