Event Description : 'Abaar Ekattor [ Return of '71 ]' A Bengali Play

Abaar Ekattor goes back to the horrifying days of 1971 when the human race in east was paralysed by famine, war and birth of Bangladesh from the womb of sacrifices. The migration of millions to India led to instability and borders were drawn with political knives.
After 40 years of those dark days, 71 has come back to haunt us. The bifurcation of India into new states and new castes have taken out those knives which might be rusted but has not lost its illumined features.
Regional conflicts, rotten grains, unfathomed prices for necessities, corrupt axis of power and growing discontent over the very existence of constitution, marks the return of those days.
