Dhruvswamini sees herself as a woman, beyond her stature as a queen. Her struggle in the story is about finding her place in the world and her freedom as a woman. Her words are spoken in an ancient context, but they had echoes in the India of the 1930s – and they remain relevant in present-day India.Andha Yug is one of the most significant plays of modern India. Written immediately after the partition of the Indian subcontinent, the play is a profound meditation on the politics of violence and aggressive selfhood. The moral burden of the play is that every act of violence inevitably debases society as a whole.
