PAHIJE JATEECHE

Written way back in the 70s by Vijay Tendulkar, this is a thought-provoking play about the corruption rife in the academic field. It is the story of a young man from the backward class who studies well to realize his lifelong ambition of becoming a college professor. Instead of a bright future ahead, he stumbles upon campus politics that ensures his ouster from the educational institute. Caste politics then is still as relevant today. An engrossing play tackling social evils - this is another bold play from the Tendulkar collection.
