Vijay Tendulkar’s Ghashiram Kotwal is more than just a historical play—it’s a sharp critique of corruption, lust for power, and the cyclical nature of exploitation. Set during the Peshwa rule in Pune, this iconic Marathi drama combines history with folk theatre elements like Tamasha, music, and dance to question morality and politics.
To make this fascinating text come alive, I’ve prepared a detailed video lecture that dives deep into:
✔ The historical and cultural context of the play
✔ Themes of power, gender, and morality
✔ Key characters like Ghashiram, Nana Phadnavis, and the Sutradhaar
The lecture simplifies complex ideas and connects them with contemporary issues—because Tendulkar’s message is still relevant today!
