Significance And Social Impact In The Plays Of Mahesh Dattani

Abstract

Today's Indian dramatists are always involved in social critiques about modern Indian and pan-Indian life. Among the socially conscious dramatists, Mahesh Dattani stands out because he not only raises awareness about contemporary social issues through reflection on the most pressing issues of contemporary India, such as gender issues, women's discrimination, communal strife, homosexuality, transgender rights, and sexual abuse. Furthermore, his plays make the reader/audience aware of the potential consequences of the issues raised on the family, society, and nation.
