<em>Girish Karnad, the eminent playwright, acknowledges to Apama Dharwadker, in these words, his skill of writing. Karnad belongs to that generation of writers who were the first to come of age in post-independent India. At that time, the country was facing tensions between the cultural and colonial past, Western thoughts and its own traditions. This historical context gave rise to Karnad’s plays and those of his contemporaries. His plays hold a mirror unto life and show a relevance of the past to the present, the subject matter resonating in modem experience and relating itself to prese

Girish Karnad is one of the most prominent Indian dramatists of contemporary  Indian Drama. His plays are truly a critique of modern Indian society but his major aim is the exploitation of human relationships and psychology. What is unique about Karnad is his use of history and myth, the juxtaposition of the past and present and various innovations that he has brought into modern Indian Drama. Girish Karnad reworks on the actual myth and adds contemporary attachments with it. Karnad modifies the myth in a way to suit his own plot. And this myth was transformed to reflect the contemporary

The centuries-old societal problem of caste is given the attention it deserves. Sharana's effort to outlaw it was brought to life. The plot revolves on the unconventional union of a Brahmin bride and a Cobbler groom. The failed marriage and its aftermath highlight the crude nature of the caste system.

Girish Karnad has the persona of giving his characters an air of freedom. The characters of his plays are mostly liberated from the pro-social norms or at-least tried their best to get that air.

But still there is an exceptional case in this scenario too.

Abstract:

Hayavadana, a multiplex play, offers various binary themes for discussion. By combining the indigenous Yakshagana and the western Brechtian Epic theatre practices, Girish Karnad has created a unique theatre display, presenting it as a social and religious satire that point to the persistent pursuit of the humanity to achieve perfection. The plot and the sub-plot of the play get interlocked by raising questions on identity and the nature of reality. The dramatist intentionally effects a dynamic communication between the audience and the performance, noting that the audience too are not separate

Abstract:

Based on the theme of caste conflict in Girish Karnad’s play Tale-danda, this article aims to delineate how a sub-sect of a majoritarian (Hindu) community endeavoured to establish itself as a distinct religious group (Lingayatism), failed miserably in its mission, and how it is forced to ultimately merge itself into the larger community. The article will explore the reasons for its failure from the events of Karnad’s play Tale-danda, written against the backdrop of the actual events of the Lingayat Movement led by the poet–saint Basavanna in the twelfth-century CE Karnataka. In the play, Karna

Abstract:

Girish Karnad’s Tughlaq is a compelling historical play that reimagines the tumultuous reign of Muhammad bin Tughlaq, a 14th-century Sultan of Delhi, through a modern political lens. Karnad’s fascination with Tughlaq arises from the ruler’s paradoxical personality—an idealist plagued by political failure—which provides a fertile ground for exploring themes of leadership, disillusionment, and power. This article examines how Karnad employs symbolism and parallelism to construct a narrative that is at once historical and profoundly contemporary. The character of Tughlaq, with his utopian aspirat

The main plot of the play Hayavadana is based on 'the story of transported heads' in the Sanskrit Vetala Panchavimsati. What adds charm to the play is Karnad's own treatment with the old theme and as a result what we see is the life-like characters that we come across daily life.

Karnad traverses through unfathomable depths of old Indian mythology to make the social and cultural problems that reflects the traditional Indian society. He portrays a modern context of characters by the amalgamation of symbols. His plays are usually found very close to common people with a very realistic approach towards the issues of humans. He used not only myths to frame the plot but also to pinpoint the human psyche and cultural practices in the society. He
