- Abstract
-
Asif Currimbhoy’s plays reveal the notions and aspects of colonialism. He
highlights the de-humanizing aspects of colonialism by focusing on the influence of
capitalism in all walks of the Post-independent Indian life in some plays. His plays
were undertaken as subject of study and research and were even translated into
regional language. His plays cover a wide range of themes from History and Politics.
The issues of race, class & gender which are prominent in most of Currimbhoy’s plays
have not been examined in detail. Currimbhoy’s constant engagement on vital issues
informs and impacts his vision of life. - Downloads
