JAMMU, Aug 4: Theatre group ‘Natrang’ here today staged Balwant Thakur’s hard hitting play ‘Inqlaab’ under the direction of Neeraj Kant.
The play opens with a group of youth representing the larger human resource of the country shown extremely disillusioned and pessimistic about the system.
Dejected and demoralized with peak corruption of all kinds, nepotism, maladministration and anarchy, all are desperately looking for a way to set the system right.
At this stage they have totally lost faith in the system. Finding them in a surrendered state, the anti-nationals prompt them to start arms struggle, others push them to restore to vandalism to take revenge with the corrupt system.
In this total state of uncertainty and to be or not to be situation, there emerges a savior who is in possession of a non-violent invisible missile. He surprises everyone by showing a small piece of paper where the power of a single ‘Vote’ is described elaborately. Terming that as the most powerful invisible non-violent weapon of the citizens in a democratic nation, he prompts them to use this in a rightful manner, ensuring a system of their dreams and aspirations in place.
He illustrates further that a new revolution aimed at changing the fate of this nation is possible provided we all vote and that too without any fear and influence.
Artists who performed in the play were Neeraj Kant, Palshin Dutta, Kananpreet Kaur, Amit Rana, Priya Kashyup, Mihir Gujral, Vishal Sharma and Kushal Bhat. The music and the lights of the play were operated by Mohd. Yaseen.
