DODA, Apr 7: Natrang show series ‘Loktantra Ka Asli Mantra’ commenced at Fawara Chowk, here today with a big bang.
Organized by the district administration Doda and supported by Chief Electoral Office J&K, this highly motivating electrifying theatre performance educated the masses in a highly effective manner about the importance of voting.
Written by Padamshree Balwant Thakur and directed by Neeraj Kant, the play aims at creating a strong movement ensuring maximum participation of voters in the electoral process.
The play ‘Loktantra Ka Asli Mantra’ opens with the aggression of the disillusioned, frustrated youth who are struggling to survive in the contaminated air of corruption, scandals and dishonesty. They do not see any hope in the future as their present is being rotten by the corrupt system.
They want to devastate everything around them in rage but when questioned by an educated person what are they doing to come out of this unfortunate situation, they are speechless as they just want the things to happen but are not ready to be part of that change and want everything without making any required effort.
As the play proceeds, different age groups and varied sections of people are shown in satirical manner who have their petty reasons not to vote and also whom to vote. This ignorance and arrogance of the masses leaves huge space for the vested interests to exploit this situation.
Through this play all the sections of society are prompted not to run away from their ultimate responsibility of voting for the stronger democracy of India.
The artists who participated in the play included Neeraj Kant, Subash Jamwal, Mohd Yaseen, Brijesh Avtar Sharma, Aadesh Dhar, Sanket Bhagat, Vishal Sharma, Kushal Bhat, Kananpreet Kaur, Palshin Dutta, Payal Khanna, Priya Kashyap, Amit Rana and Arun Sharma.
The music of the play was operated by Mohd Yaseen.
