Aparajito presents 'KHELAGHOR BY DEBSHANKAR HALDAR' based on Ibsen’s ‘A Doll’s House’ is the inner voice of women from time immemorial. The character of Neera is played by Chaiti Ghosal & Tamonash by Debshankar Haldar. The play discusses the restrictions of Gender roles in marriage & society. Neera, the wife of Tamonash incidentally realizes the tremendous power of patriarchy. And this realization leads him to desert his family built by the vigor of manhood. Once Neera had to borrow a large amount from Tamonash and she repaid the amount bit by bit. At that time Tamonash was a poor part-time college teacher. But now he is a full-time professor. In his college Kalika is a clerk and presently facing the charge of misappropriation of fund. Dismissal is inevitable for her. Kalika knows that it is Tamonash who can save her and therefore meets Neera, reminding her of the loan she had obtained. Kalika asks Neera to influence Tamonash so that he stands in her support. Neera could not compromise. It is a crime. She cannot get Tamonash infamous for the sake of Kalika. She refuses Kalika’s proposal. Kalika understood that her request would not work. Something more is needed. She reminds Neera that while borrowing money she had forged the signature of her father and Tamonash knew nothing about it. It is a crime. Neera is perplexed. She seeks help from her friend Kaberi who suggests she disclose the matter to Tamonash. Initially, Neera was hesitant. She knew Tamonash wouldn’t accept the misdeed. Still, she decided her silent indifference to Tamonash. But finally, Tamonash comes to know everything from a biter of Kalika. He claims expiation for her ingratitude. It transpires for Neera that she is nothing but a decorated doll in her family. Tamonash had never been an eligible element for her mind and love. She deserts her husband, her family, and even her children to find real freedom.
