Event Description : THEATRE : Akshara Theatre presents  "Barrister At Law" English Play.

Barrister At Law is a play written by eminent film-maker, director, columnist, activist and author, the late Khwaja Ahmed Abbas, about Gandhi’s formative years in South Africa. It is directed at his special request – made 30 years ago -- by internationally acclaimed playwright-director Gopal Sharman, Founding-Director of New Delhi’s Akshara Theatre.  
The play underlines the joint struggle of Hindu and Muslim Indians in South Africa, as well as the Blacks of South Africa, which was the crucible where Gandhi’s political philosophy was forged, in the fire of oppression and intolerance. Gandhi learned first-hand about brutality, discrimination and inequality in his 21 years in South Africa, and formed his credos of non-violence  ‘ahimsa’, and ‘satyagraha’ – based on his experiences there. When he returned to India in 1915, his direction was clear and his goal of freedom through non-violence was fixed. His was an all-inclusive philosophy, which included and indeed propagated freedom and equality between all religions, castes and creeds.
