Abstract:
In the present scenario, in perspectives on Naxalism, Asif Currimbhoy’s play Inquilab reflects the complexity of underlying issues in the social, economic and political institutions of our country which expose India to even greater and bigger challenges and dangers than the external forces. Here, the playwright not only condemns the Naxalite cult of violence strongly but also comes down heavily on the political leaders who have been in power as rulers of our nation over the tardy implementation of constitutional provisions in the realization of the lofty ideals of our forefathers. In this regard, Inquilab is not only about the problem of Naxalism in some states of India; it is also an account of the violent ideology of terrorists throughout the world. The present research paper highlights the social problems of contemporary India in the play Inquilab by Asif Currimbhoy.
