Major Sandeep sacrifices his life fighting for the country. People are filled with awe with his extreme valour and supreme sacrifice. Media, NGOs and other organisations jump in the bandwagon of honouring the family left behind. Behind these fuctions organised to honour the family there is always a motive of getting name, fame and money for the honouring organisations.
The war was over but the family had to fight battles on two fronts. One of them was the media, with it’s full glare. The second front was what we call “Duniyadaari”. Major Sandeep’s wife, who is expecting Sandeep’s child, is torn between two families. Sandeep’s and her own.
The last hope is the younger son. But his decision leaves the frail parents completely bewildered and heart broken.
The play unfolds the anguish and agony of mother, father and wife of Maj Sandeep, and what they have to go through and how they have to cope up with life after. The hard hitting play makes you sit up and take notice of the pretences some sections of the society have for the family. This play is not only a wholesome and thought provoking entertainment, but also helps in conscience building towards families left behind by our martyrs.
The play , based on the short story by renowned Dr Urmila Shirish, is written and directed by Mathura Kalauny, founder of Kalayan Theatre Group.
