AKHNOOR, Sept 23: A play ‘Loktantra Ka Asli Mantra’ was presented by Natrang here today.
The play was written by Padamshree Balwant Thakur and directed by Neeraj Kant.
Sponsored by the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer, J&K, and locally organized by the District Election Officer Jammu through the District SVEEP team, the play is a motivational play aimed at raising awareness about voting rights.
Expressing his gratitude, Natrang Director Balwant Thakur thanked the Chief Electoral Officer, J&K, for providing Natrang the opportunity to use theatre as a medium for a larger national cause.
With its powerful narrative, Loktantra Ka Asli Mantra continues to inspire people to take an active role in democracy by exercising their right to vote.
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 that ‘what are they doing to come out of this unfortunate situation?.
Busy in their illusionary world created by the social media, 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. Terming them as the most vibrant human resource of the world, the educated person prompts them to come forward, take the command and change their fate.
The most effective way of changing the fate of a country is the way of voting, this is the highly peaceful and effective way to bring big reforms of their choices.
As the play proceeds, different age groups and varied sections of people are shown in satirical manner, who have their petty reasons to not vote and also whom to vote.
Among others who performed in the play included Neeraj Kant, Subash Jamwal, Mohd. Yaseen, Vrinda Gujral, Brijesh Avtar Sharma, Vansh Pandotra, Vishal Sharma, Palshin Dutta, Mihir Gujral, Ananya Verma, Sanket Bhagat, Vansh Pandotra, Aadesh Dhar, Kushal Bhat, Lalita Sharma, Kananpreet Kaur, Pratibha Verma, Sanket Bhagat, Vansh Pandotra and Lal Mohd.
The music of the play was operated by Mohd. Yaseen and Palshin Dutta.
