About Play Rajgati: 

Renowned theatre Thinker Manjul Bhardwaj Play ‘Rajgati’ unfolds the dimensions of ‘Power, System and Political Character & Politics’. Politics is pious policy. Politics is dirty; play breaks this illusion & appeals the common masses to actively participate in political process. Common masses are the custodians of world’s largest democracy. The Play creates the consciousness of changing the 'political scenario' for the creation of equality, justice, humanity and constitutional order. 

Every moment of our life is influenced and governed by "politics". But what role do we 'Citizens’ play? We only ‘donate’ our 'vote' and make ourselves free from our political role, shifting the blame and cursing politics every time.  We set our mindset stating that "Politics is 'bad' , Politics is polluted" ! 

Well, we are civilized people, aren't we ? We always find ourselves talking things like ‘politics is not our cup of tea, it's not our job to think and worry about politics’. When all the citizens are so honest and want a proper democratic system then how does the country's democratic political system is so  corrupted  ?

Let's think for a moment , will the biggest democracy of the world prevail without the political process that we always ignore ? The answer is NO, a big NO!  When the 'civilized' citizens do not govern it, then the power position is obviously and unfortunately goes to the evil ones within the society. It's been 71 years since we have gain the independence but the political process is still out of hands from the commoners. Let's ponder upon this - Is Politics really bad or are we making it worse by not getting involved in it? ..

We all expect that 'Gandhi, Bhagat Singh, Savitri and Lakshmi Bai' should be born  amongst us but not in my house’. Is this attitude and apathy justified ?

When the farmers choose the path of suicide, why the citizens of this country keep quiet ? Why the actual problems of our democracy are sidelined by the made up problems of our politicians.

We the performers of ‘Theatre of Relevance’ have taken a positive step. The play "Rajgati" written by internationally renowned theatre thinker and philosopher Manjul Bhardwaj , inspires the audience (public) to churn on the above questions. Theater of Relevance practitioners and well wishers have organized the play "Rajgati" in Shivaji Natya Mandir, Dadar, on 23rd January, 2019, at 8pm.

 The performing team is Ashwini Nandedkar, Yogini Chowk, Sayali Pawaskar, Komal Khamkar , Tushar Mhaske, Swati Wagh, Sachin Gadekar & others.

"Theater of Relevance" philosophy, is an artistic movement and is revolting against fascism for 26 years.

Globalization and fascism has eradicated the values of 'equality and freedom' and have raised disorders in society resulting in destruction and violence, increasing gap between the rich and the poor.

Violence destroys humanity and Art awakens the same. Art gives human the sense of purity and human value . Art creates humanity !

'Rajgati' play,  demolishes fascism and creates consciousness about equality, justice, humanity and constructive constitutional system for overall  'political change',which rejuvenates self esteem and destroys inferiority complex within human self.

Let's ponder over this and make the 'political system' pious and relevant !

Your contribution is warmly welcomed !
