Maharathi deals blow to caste discrimination
On the sixth day of the weeklong Pritam Singh Oberoi Memorial National Theatre Festival at Kalidasa Auditorium, Virsa Vihar Kendra, Patiala, play ‘Maharathi’ dealt a blow to ‘caste discriminators’.
The event is being held under the aegis of the North Zone Cultural Centre (NZCC) by Kala Kriti Patiala and Sarbat Da Bhala Charitable Trust.
This play directed by Abhishek Mudgal is based on the life story of Maharathi Karna. It showcased that how even today, caste and creed are considered superior, ignoring skills.
The cast of the play included Divyansh Shivanani, Devendra Swamy, Sudhanshu Shukla, Vivek Jakhar, Ritika, Yashwini, Roshic, Nishant, Mohit and Shweta Choulagai.
Manjit Singh Narang, Chairman of Kalakriti Patiala and former IAS officer, who was chief guest at the festival said Kalakriti was committed to creating cultural bonds with other states.
