Over three hundred performances of 'Bakri' have been held in the last three years. The maximum performances were done by 'IPTA' Bombay under the direction of M. S. Satyu. Its silver jubilee was celebrated there. Not only this, where this play has moved towards the dialects of Hindi i.e. it has been performed in Brajbhasha, Chhattisgarhi and Kumauni, it is also being performed in the regional languages ??of the country. In Bangalore, it was presented in Kannada by Prasanna where despite a lot of controversy, its performances were held and are still being held. In Kannada too, it was directed by M. S. Satyu. This play is also being performed in Oriya and Gujarati. In Mauritius, the performance of this play was banned. After the performance of the play at many places, it has become the reason for clashes between the audience and the artists and there has been a lot of debate. At some places, the play has been stopped from being performed and the theatre artists have faced it boldly. And then it has been performed more organized. There has been a lot of controversy about its performance in newspapers and magazines too. All these incidents show that this play has become more relevant in the current political situation of the country and further polarizes the forces that are fighting against this situation and those that are avoiding it. Even today, politics of power is being done by wearing the mask of Gandhism and the people of the country are being deceived. The author wants that the political situation of the country should improve and this play should become irrelevant as soon as possible in its inherent satire. -Sarveshwardayal Saxena
