Balraj Sahni. With this play, Ajoka paid tribute to this great son of soil on
the occasion of his hundredth birthday. This play is directed by India's
well-known theatre director Kewal Dhaliwal.
Ajoka's play "KabeeraKhara Bazar Mein" is about a
mystic/Sufi personality of 15th century. Kabeera who was a poet as well as a
saint is the best known representative of the Bhakti movement which was largely
monotheistic, spiritual and social movement which challenged the caste system
and divides existing in the society. The basic concepts of this movement were
related to Sufism, bringing the two movements very close to each other. It
is interesting to note that Kabeer was a personality who was in constant
conflict with both the orthodox Hindus and the Muslims.
Ajoka has always brought forward quality entertainment with a
message of peace. Kabeera is an attempt to bring social change
through theatre
