The Prevailing Issues On Contemporary India In Mahesh Dattani’s Bravely Fought The Queen
Abstract
Mahesh Dattani is one of most important playwrights who is readily willing to work along with a comparably good society and to tell a story that is powerful. Dattani boldly deals with themes like feminism, politics in academic institutions, bribery in governmental sectors, child labour, etc. Dattani’s aim in writing this enkindling play is to make the society to think about problems that it may not want to deal with because they are disturbing to the usual thinking of the general public. Mahesh Dattani’s lively play, Bravely Fought the Queen portrays the feelings of the individuals, who are confused financially and sexually in the contemporary modern India. The play is about an extreme appeal for acceptance of shifting Indian values. Also, the play openly reveals the conflict between traditional and contemporary cultures that have created a new social plot.
