JAMMU, Jan 17: “Loktantra Ka Mantra”, a play in Hindi written and directed by Balwant Thakur, was presented here today at Natrang Studio Theatre under Natrang’s Sunday Theatre series.
The play started with the aggression of the frustrated youth who is breathing in the contaminated air of corruption, scandals and dishonesty. They do not see any hope in the future as their present is being rotten by the greed of the corrupt rulers. But, when asked by a literary person that what they are doing for the cure of this unfortunate situation, they are speechless as they just want the things to be changed but are not ready to be part of that change and want it without doing effort.
Then they were very elaborately told by that person that India is the country of youth and they may bring any reform if they use their energies in a channelized manner and that way is the way of voting, this is the most peaceful and effective key to bring big reforms.
As the play proceeded, different mindsets of people were shown in satirical manner who had their petty reasons to not vote and also whom to vote.
Through this play a pledge is evoked by the people of all the sections of society who are of 18 years and above that they would never let their power of voting go waste and would definitely vote for the right candidates as this is their right and duty as well.
Natrang artists who acted in the play included Ashwani Bali, Rajan Thakyal, Mukesh Bakshi, Kanav Sharma, Rohit Sharma, Nitish Kaul, Bipan Gupta, Shivam Singh, Piyush Anand and Vishal Sharma.
Lights were operated by Ankush Lakhnotra. Mohd Yaseen rendered the Music and the show was coordinated by Aishwarya Sathe.
