This book deals with the life and work of Vijay Tendulkar, one of the greatest playwrights of India. Tracing the origin and development of Indian drama from Bharata to the modern regional drama in translation, it gives an overview of Tendulkar’s thematic complex art and vision.
Making a critical study of Tendulkar’s five major plays, namely, Silence! The Court is in Session, Sakharam Binder, Ghashiram Kotwal, Kanyadaan and Kamala, it addresses some important issues concerning gender inequalities, the hypocrisy of our society in a realistic manner, inter-caste marriage in a caste-based society, the status of women, and flesh trade.
