Event Description : Theatre-National 

20th February : Chhaya Shakuntalam
Directed by : K.N.Pannikar 
It is a retelling of kalidasa’s Abhijnana Shakuntalam. The title of the play contains the 
word “Abhijnana” which is indicative of oblivion and remembrance, two psychogenic 
functions of the mind experienced by Dushyanta, the protagonist of the play. The 
theme of the play suggests that the limit of one’s own rights irrespective of whether 
one is the ruler or the ruled has to be prescribed by some superimposed sanction, lest 
the social equilibrium would be disturbed. Whichever age we belong to, the problem 
repeats in different contemporary dimensions.

21st Febrauary : Jaat Hi Poochho Sadhu Ki
Directed by :  Rajendra Nath 
The play opens with a narrative by Mahipat, who gives a hilarious biographical 
sketch of his life. his only aim is to become an M.A before bidding good bye to 
this world. he encounters countless rejections, spends time classifying rejection 
slips, and ultimately starts his study of Sifarishim (Nepotism), which he believe is 
the best weapon available today.
