ANDHA YUG Story :

ANDHA YUG is a verse play, written by Dharamvir Bharati. It is set in the background of the last day of the Mahabharata war till the last moment of Lord Krishna’s life. The play hints that every action of violence degrades society as a whole. Longing for one last act of revenge Ashwatthama releases the ultimate weapon, the Brahmastra, which threatens to destroy the world. The moral center of the play lies in Krishna. Despite his failure to ensure peace, it is his presence throughout the play that reveals to us that the ethical and the just are always available to human beings even in the worst of times Andha Yug outshines direct reference to the violence that occurred from the partition of India and of Second World War and its effects on human lives and moral values. It depicts hazards when society turns away from its insight. How eventually both victor and the loser suffer, it speaks about greed and self-hood. It questions whether we are accountable for our moral choices. It elaborates on the consequences when a society fails to stop a cycle of revenge and collectively rejects the voice of wisdom, leading to wide-scale bloodshed.
