JAMMU, Jan 3: ‘Bachpan-a victim of Terrorism’ -a play highlighting the struggle of a terrorism affected woman of J&K was performed under ‘Theatre of Convenience’ in Jammu on Friday.
Written and directed by Neha Lahotra, the play was about the struggle of the wife of a slain militant to give good education to her child.
The play started in an office of the Principal of a big private school of the city, where the principal asks the wife of a slain militant that the school cannot accept her child, as other parents are objecting.
Wife of the slain militant then narrates the story of her struggle to reach that school which convinces the Principal to let her child continue in that school.
The play was full of emotional dialogues and the plight of a mother who wants her child to get best education and join the mainstream.
“I tried to highlight the problem faced by the women during peak of militancy in J&K. They (women in J&K) get married to militants by force and when the militant dies they have to struggle for their own survival as well as for the survival of their children,” said Neha Lahotra, a renowned actor and director.
Neha Lahotra played the role of the wife of a slain militant and Nitika Suri played the role of the Principal of the school.
