Andha Yug is a 1953 verse play written in Hindi by the renowned novelist, poet, and playwright Dr. Dharmveer Bharti. The plot of the play centers around the last day of the Mahabharata war. It presents the problems and human ambitions of the war and its aftermath. Andha Yug highlights the perils of self-enchantment in an anti-war allegory.
It explores the human capacity for moral action, reconciliation, and goodness in times of atrocity, revealing what happens when individuals succumb to the cruelty and cynicism of a blind, dispirited age. The story hints at the perils that await a society that turns away from its wisdom culture and instead succumbs to the logic of the moment, easily swayed by emotions.
Bharti uses the war of Mahabharat to make an anti-war statement and raises questions regarding moral uprightness in the wake of Partition-related atrocities, loss of faith, and national identity. The play deals with important philosophical questions such as ethics, the necessity, and the consequences of war
