Event Description : Saksham Theatre Group presents "Khamosh, Adalat Jaari Hai" Hindi play.
This play is the Hindi translation of Vijay Tendulkar's best known Marathi drama Shantata! Court Chalu Aahe. The story begins with a group of people, who are planning to stage a play in a village. Since one of the cast members doesn't show up, a local is asked to replace him. To make him understand the courtroom procedures, a rehearsal is arranged with a mock trial. But the story takes a twist when the pretend-play suddenly turns into a grim charge.

Leela Benare, the central character of the plot, ignores the social taboos living an independent life according to her own free will. In the mock-trial, the co-actors deftly expose her private life and unintentionally reveal her illicit relationship with Professor Damle, a married man having five children specially the fact that Miss Benare is carrying his child.  Sukhatme, playing the role of a lawyer highlights Benare’s crime by proclaiming the sanctity of motherhood as “Motherhood is a sacred thing……..Motherhood is pure” . All accede that girls should be tied in the matrimonial knot at the onset of puberty so that temptations leading to social crimes are prevented. They unanimously agree with the traditional system that women should not be given independence.

Unfulfilled desires, hypocrisy, gender discrimination, social customs and manifestations of power are some of the ideas that “Khamosh Adalat Jari Hai” tries to touch upon.
