by the name Maza Pravas: 1857 cya Bandaci Hakikat (My Travels: the Story of the 1857 Mutiny). This edition was edited by Chintamanrao Vaidya, who made some changes from the original manuscript, but handed that manuscript over to Bharat Itihas Sanshodhak Mandal in Pune. Chintamanrao Vaidya, who was an educated young man of the 1890/1900s, checked the narrative against colonial historical accounts (e.g. Sir John Kaye's history etc.), and found that it was accurate. However, since he was advised that the British government might find the narrative more provocative than desired, and because it also contained some "objectionable" (read erotic) material, delayed the publication for some time. Godse Bhatji's text was written in the modi script (used commonly in the period for writing Marathi), Vaidya got it transcribed into the Balbodh style of the Devanagari script. He got it published only in 1907, after editing the "objectionable" passages. The edition by Datto Vaman Potdar restores all the passages that were removed. Vishnu Bhat Godse's great great grand daughter, Sukhmani Roy Vijh published her English translation of 'Majha Pravaas' titled 'Travails of 1857' in September 2012. The Asiatic Society, Mumbai funded the research for the project whereas Pune-based Rohan Prakashan are the publishers.
