Vijay Deodorant
Tendulkar was born on January 6, 1928 in a Bhalavalikar Saraswat brahmin family
in Kolhapur, Maharashtra.
Vijay Tendulkar was a leading Indian playwright, movie and television writer,
literary essayist, political journalist, and social commentator primarily in
Marāthi.
Ghashiram
Kotwal is a landmark in the history of Indian Drama in English Translation. It
is a work in which there is a fine blending of both theme and style, thoughts
and language. In this play, the playwright has taken the help of Indian history
to expose the reality of the contemporary time. It deals with power politics,
ambition, sexual hunger and revenge. It exposes the latent savagery of human
being e.g., treachery, violence, sexuality and power-politics between Nana
Phadnavis and Ghashiram Kotwal- the former is hungry for sex and the latter,
for power. Ghashiram progresses from a common man to more than a beast in order
to grab the power of state. Through these two characters, Tendulkar has shown
the moral degradation, social degeneration and spiritual regression. The
present book is specially meant for students who want to be fully familiar with
the various aspects of the play.
The first show of this play
was done on 16 December 1972 at Bharat Natya Mandir in Pune. The play saw a
huge controversy and success in the following years. It made the trip to Europe in the year
1980. Later in the year 1986, the group also done plays in US and Canada.
They also travelled to Russia,
East Germany, Hungary
