Is there any way people in India can watch it? Really want to see this one!

This is SO exciting! As an American, I HOPE this will eventually appear on National Theatre At Home. I recently included Dara in my Multicultural Drama class and the students loved it and learned so much. I'm the future I might be able to include this play as well!

Please remember the lines uttered by the Playwright Anupama Chandrasekhar 'if you are expecting a history lesson this (play) is not it', 'to fill in gaps about Nathuram Godse I had to use my imagination, It is friction but there are historical moments in the play that I cannot but write about.' Don't make it the truth.

Hi, anywhere we can read the play already? :)

Mahatma Gandhi's assassination was possible with culmination of decades of systematic brain-washing. Some people's way of thinking scars me, the mindset that led to Gandhiji's assassination has not disappeared from our national psyche. They show the murder of the opponent becomes an act of religious sacrifice that is pure brain-washing. No riot in India is possible without political support. Such crimes are organised crimes and this is no theory it is all showcased in all the documentary movies on India, people who are participating in riots are not normal people with jobs, in India these people are part of a mob or some organization most of them are unemployed but work under some political party or a religious group. A fake propaganda repeated a 1000 times automatically becomes a fact, such fake messages that instigate a feeling of hatred is spooned everyday, for days, months and years to a certain community against other community by politicians and religious gurus, so when the time comes a small spark will create a blast. They try to make people feared and charge them saying now it's the time to pick up weapons. In a land where education and scientific temperament is not given much importance, there will be Radio Ravands and a mob that will seek to hate someone. Everyone who tries to stop hatred or spread love will be villainized, the people who try to talk about peace, equality, basic needs of the poor, will be targeted and will be portrayed as evil people to shut their voice, once they are defamed nobody will ever hear them, soon a mob will kill all those who talk about peace and communal harmony. On the other hand the person spreading hate will be made a hero, his acts will be justified maybe they might even garland him. What else is expected from a mob of half wits who try to compensate their absence of reason and logic with aggression and bigotry? A mob that can't distinguish between history and mythology. The mob that can't prioritize between religion and humanity. The mob that can't even distinguish between the value of a human life and an animal life. The mob that has been taught to be proud and complacent on the achievements it never contributed to. That has been made to believe the whole world is conspiring against it, because it was once great. The mob that is imbecile and blind to not realize that it doesn't have slightest of contribution to the modern human society. It's too much to ask this mob to read between the lines and to catch the nuanced tactics, establishments play, to achieve their purposes. India's defense and police forces can stop any riots in 2 hours it is the politicians that makes sure the riot goes longer, they are the ones instigating it to play their religious vote bank politics. Hatred starts with pride, once you are proud of your nationality, race, ethnicity, religion, caste, creed, sex or region, it instigates the thought of, that the other person who is not like you should have no right to feel proud about himself and is "bad"/"toxic"/"evil" person because he is not like you even if you haven't known him personally but propaganda messages will make you hate anyways. Some 10 year old video of a riot in some part of the world will be propagated as it happened door next door to make your blood boil. There is no way to pull someone out of the well of hatred in a snap, he is been feed with propaganda every single day for months. No one should ever be proud of the things he didn't achieve with his efforts and should not fall for any hate speeches or should not believe he belongs to a superior class or should not fall for politicians or their workers who instigate violence because the ones who instigate(politicians and religious gurus) never get killed in any riots in India they just enjoy the votes of majority group people and live peacefully by making innocent people feel violent or feared, and telling them I am your savior and savior of our group/religion and do as I say if you want to survive kill them before they kill you. Most of the politicians in India are with criminal backgrounds like hardcore criminal backgrounds sometimes along with a religious background, they behave like they are the savior of their caste, race, religion or any identity, they make common men fight amongst each other, and their kids enjoy a safe luxurious life in foreign countries. Watch the documentary "In the name of god" by Anand Patwardhan, "Final Solution" by Rakesh Sharma and "Reason" by Anand Patwardhan also a film called "Black Friday" all the documentaries of Anand Patwardhan explain about India in its entirety. India has seen a lot of things in its entire life and its only the innocent people who have suffered, for instance only a single state Gujarat has seen more than 100 riots. I don't want to compare with other nations I should not compare with other nations but I feel like India has seen a lot worse than you can imagine. Britishers should also be thanked for instigating violence, back when in 1857 Hindus and Muslims fought together against Britishers and made the Britishers feel really threatened, the Britishers came with the idea of divide and rule, here, Muslim League, Hindu Mahasabha and RSS helped Britishers at that time to make sure that the rising of equality doesn't make them lose their power over lower caste and since then India has not been able to sleep peacefully. Unity in diversity will take our country forward but the extremists will take our country in the opposite way where people will die from hunger, inequality, and religious hatred. People who had nothing to do with any social or political issues and were just minding their own business, lose their lives in riots. Please don't fall for hatred, don't waste your future becoming a rioter, don't waste your life and please understand that history is meant to be understood not to be balanced like accounting. One Injustice can not be used to Justify Some Other Injustice. Understand vote bank politics. Being communal can't be justified in any way. Spread love and friendship🙏🏻 They make an excuse by saying that Mahatma Gandhi was responsible for Pakistan that made Godse kill him, then why didn't he kill other people who were responsible too like Jinha. This is a pure blatant lie and a propaganda. The attempt to kill Mahatma Gandhi was done since 1934 by extremists that time there was not even a thought of Pakistan all because Mahatma Gandhi was bringing equality, eradicating untouchability and challenging the casteism. Mahatma Gandhi shook the varna vyavastha jativad by cleaning the toilets himself all these things made the Hindu extremists really angry. Savarkar openly supported the idea of partition he announced in Ahmedabad that Hindus and Muslims need separate nations, Mahatma Gandhi on the other hand condemned the two nation idea since 1940 he continuously made attempts to bring people back but these religious extremists ruined everything. Godse is no more but the mindset which gave birth to such distorted philosophy is unfortunately still with us. It is frightening to see some attempts to brainwash people are being made to justify the first terrorist of independent India.
