Abstract

For Indian writing in English Literature, the names of some well-known dramatists are generally at the top. Like Rabindranath Tagore, Sri Aurobindo, Vijay Tendulkar, Girish Karnard, Mahesh Dattani and others. They used their writing technique along with the emergence of desi form of the dramatic construction. Vijay Tendulkar and Girish Karnad were most productive and fertile playwrights of India. They are contemporary writers to each other. As well as they both made a powerful impression in the field of English literature especially in Indian English drama. ‘Silence! The court is in session’ the deceitfulness of the Indian middle class morality has been exposed in this play. It is a play within a play. The revelation of the irony of human destiny in a courtroom scene is wonderful. This system is the de facto slavery of women in post colonial India. The drama ‘Kamla’ is based on a journalist buying a woman name kamla for only 250 rupees and bringing it to the public as sensational news. King Yayati’s youthful lust, Devayani and Chitrarekha’s love ambition, demon girl Sharmishtha’s self-pity and repressed desires and Puru’s resistance to authority and power, like life in the play ‘Yayati’ touches us with its inexhaustible flow. Girish Karnad through the play ‘Nagamandla’ exposes us to the exploitation of women in the institution of marriage as well as the imprisonment of women. The myth reflects the fear of men in society and thus men are inherently patriarchal. They are ever ready to control and restrict the activities of women.
