Since Annasaheb Dabholkar and Dasganu Maharaj both focused on the pitiable state of the country in their biographies, how did their approaches differ?

This question is based on an incorrect premise. The Preface, as detailed in Chapter 0, explicitly states that while Shri Dasganu Maharaj beautifully depicted the pitiable state of the country and its causes in his short biographies, Shri Annasaheb Dabholkar "did not involve himself in these matters at all." Therefore, a comparison of their approaches on this specific topic is not possible, as the source material indicates that only Dasganu Maharaj addressed it, while Annasaheb Dabholkar did not.
