RAJOURI, Sept 18: Theatre group ‘Natrang’ today sensitized masses of six major towns of Rajouri and Poonch districts through its highly powerful play ‘Loktantra Ka Asli Mantra’ which was staged at Surankote, Mendhar, Poonch, Rajouri, Nowshera and Sunderbani.
Written by Padamshree Balwant Thakur and directed by Neeraj Kant, these shows were sponsored by the Chief Electoral Officer, J&K and were locally organised by District Election Offices of Poonch and Rajouri to make the larger population aware about their voting rights.
The play ‘Loktantra Ka Asli Mantra’ opens with the aggression of disillusioned and frustrated youth struggling to survive in the contaminated air of corruption, scandals and dishonesty.
They do not see any hope in the future as their present is being rotten by the corrupt system.
They want to devastate everything around them in rage but when questioned by an educated person that ‘what are they doing to come out of this unfortunate situation? Busy in their illusionary world created by the social media, they are speechless and just want the things to happen but are not ready to be part of change and want everything without making any required effort.
Terming them as the most vibrant human resource of the world, the educated person prompts them to come forward, take the command and change their fate. The most effective way of changing the fate of a country is the way of voting, this is the highly peaceful and effective way to bring big reforms of their choices.
The artists who performed in the play included Neeraj Kant, Subash Jamwal, Mohd. Yaseen, Vrinda Gujral, Brijesh Avtar Sharma, Vansh Pandotra, Vishal Sharma, Palshin Dutta, Mihir Gujral, Ananya Verma, Aadesh Dhar, Kushal Bhat, Lalita Sharma, Kananpreet Kaur, Pratibha Verma and Lal Mohd.
Music of the play was operated by Mohd. Yaseen and Palshin Dutta.
