JAMMU, July 14: Natrang today staged a new Hindi play “Zameen Ka Sawal” in its Sunday Theatre Series at its studio, here today.
The play has been written by Partap Sehgal and directed by Neeraj Kant.
The play opens in a trial room where a high level committee is enquiring about a very grim incident where five people at different locations were killed by sending letter-bombs.
“Ranganathan” a very senior scientist is accused of the crime as all the evidence were against him. Initially he does not admit the crime but when given a false news that his only son is also killed in the same manner, he breaks and with a deep agony in the heart, he accepts his crime which he had committed to take revenge from all those who were responsible for hurdles in his growth and promotion.
Despite being the most talented and deserving scientist, he was denied a due promotion as it was granted to someone else who was close with the Minister. This renders a harsh frustration in his mind, he asserts that only hard work and ability will take you nowhere in this system, where corruption and favouritism are deep-rooted.
The play very brilliantly says that those who do not have approach and recommendation may not be given higher positions but it does not mean that they are not talented enough.
The artists who performed in the play included Uplaksh Singh Kotwal, Ashwani Bali, Sushil Raina, Sachin Saini, Shekhar Sharma and Pankaj Verma. Lights were designed and operated by Mohit Sharma and the music was operated by Mohammad Yaseen. Sajra Qadir did the presentations and the show was coordinated by Sumeet Sharma.
