JAMMU, Mar 5: Bhartiya Lok Sangeet Kala Sansthan (BLSKS) in collaboration with Unison Cultural Troupe, Sangam Tru Art Production and ESRM staged musical play ‘Beti-Beta Ek Saman’ as part of its regular feature at Durga Bhawan, Janipur, Jammu.
The programe was inaugurated by the chief guest, VK Magotra, former Regional Director, Directorate of Field Publicity, Government of India. The play was focused on the theme of ‘Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao’. The programe was highly appreciated by the audience.
Written, produced and directed by ML Dogra (chairman, BLSKS), the play reflects the agony of two conservative families who are bent upon getting their daughter and son married at tender age, ignoring the advice of intellectuals of the society.
The marriage takes place but soon turns into a disaster making the life of both bride and groom miserable. The bride ends her life owing to pangs of pregnancy at childhood after delivery of a dead baby. The cries of baby girl in womb of the mother caution all of us in the society to not kill the girl child, who can also be our helping hand in old age.
The song sung by the artists are “Beti-Beta Ek Saman Hai”, “Dhiyan Gi Na Marro”, “Baiman Lok Kaise Dhiya Mar De”, “Sun-Sun Saheli Meri Sun, Paruhn Likhu Yehi Meri Dhun” and “Kya Pier Kahun Apne Mann Ki”. The music was assisted by Raju Bajgal.
