Abstract

India is a country known for its rich cultural and traditional diversities. This diverse society has established and institutionalized various ways of living that have often justified the power and authority held by some individuals over others. Coexisting in such a diverse society requires understanding among people to appreciate the myriad diversities present, particularly in the realm of religion. Conflicts arising from these diversities have found unique resonance and significance in post-independence Indian theater. One such path-breaking play from contemporary Indian theater is Final Solutions (1992) by Mahesh Dattani. This critically acclaimed and thought-provoking play brings to the forefront significant and representative features of modern Indian life, which is often marked by fragmentation, and it raises important questions about communal disharmony. The study of modern Indian plays has evolved significantly over time. This paper aims not only to provide a critique but also to delve deeper into the thematic concerns of Final Solutions. It seeks to offer a range of evaluations and interpretations based on empirical evidence.
