The play Chaarvaaka narrates the story of a philosophical tradition in India that has consistently challenged the epistemological foundations of the Vaidik tradition which justifies regressive systems of Varna (caste) and Patriarchy. It constructs a life story of Chaarvaaka (a philosopher of Lokaayata tradition about whom very little is known) to outline the nexus between the religious apparatus and political institutions that create and sustain oppressive social systems. Through Chaarvaaka’s confrontations with family, friends, religious leaders and politicians the play presents a scientific critique of the social, political and cultural system that has prevailed in India for hundreds of years and exposes its repressive and deceptive character often referred to as ‘inclusiveness’ and ‘tolerance’.
