Rasik.com is the world's first online store for selling Marathi books exclusively, serving primarily Marathi Rasiks spread out all over the world outside India. Everyone is aware of the boom in electronic commerce and how easy it has made shopping for customers. Numerous times we wish sitting in an alien country, if we could have access to literature of our home. Rasik.com is the first serious and professional attempt to bridge that gap. We at Rasik.com aim to keep you abreast with the very latest literature as well as the old classics you grew up with but no longer have access to it.

Currently, we have books in Marathi language. We have thousands of books in our database. Even if a book is not in our database, you can simply inform us about marathi book and author information. If the book is in print and available, we will add it to our database and inform you. Please note that the availability of Marathi books is quite dynamic. We do not carry any inventory and depend on Market availability of the titles in our database. if you are placing your order for a specific book (and are adding other books to the shipping cart to meet our minimum $ amout requirement), please place your order and then alert us ASAP (orders@rasik.com) as such. Then we can make sure that the specific title is available before filling the full order and shipping it. Please rest assured that your money will be fully refunded. We also feature selected English books related to India or by Indian authors. This is in association with Amazon.com.
