Divide and Rule – Religion is the Tool’. Munshi Premchand exposed this nefarious British game in the 30s in his short story ‘Satyagrah’. Strangely, the legacy remained even after their departure in 1947 and the native rulers simply stepped into the abandoned shoes of the British. In this dramatized version Safdar Hashmi and Habib Tanvir focus on the relevance of Premchand’s Satyagrah to the present Indian milieu. A dramatic farce on today’s political scenario, the play attempts to stir one’s conscience to the stark realities of the politico-religious nexus.
