About The Book<\/h3>\n

Two Plays from India\u2019 presents a theatrical canvas drawn from the pages of history and annals of mythology in India, articulating quintessential questions on deeply held spiritual values, portraying archetypical characters that evoke ageless questions for the modern spectators. Celebrated play \u201cOnce in India\u201d explores the real value of \u2018non\u2013violence\u2019 or \u2018ahinsa\u2019 through the saga of a Hindu King. In the play \u2018The King of Mathura\u2019,through a famous religious legend, the playwright has crafted an exceptional narrative around India\u2019s first semi-mythological dictator, \u2018Kans\u2019, the uncle of Hindu god Krishna. This play explores the workings of a dictator\u2019s mind and the extreme potential of the human capacity for evil, and despite apparent omnipotence, the presence of anxiety and terror in the human psyche. Both plays highlight diverging ideational drives, poignant characters, pathos and drama, while aptly highlighting India\u2019s cultural ethos and mystique.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10857,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[70,69,78],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-10855","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-fiction","product_cat-new-arrivals","product_cat-other","pa_book-author-d-p-sinha","first","instock","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.crisscrosssolutions.in\/Vitasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/10855","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.crisscrosssolutions.in\/Vitasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.crisscrosssolutions.in\/Vitasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.crisscrosssolutions.in\/Vitasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10855"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.crisscrosssolutions.in\/Vitasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10857"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.crisscrosssolutions.in\/Vitasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10855"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.crisscrosssolutions.in\/Vitasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=10855"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.crisscrosssolutions.in\/Vitasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=10855"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
