Kahani Manchan

This dramatic presentation brings together the powerful voices of three timeless Indian writers: Harishankar Parsai, Sharad Joshi, and Amrita Pritam whose stories, though distinct in style, echo a common theme: a sharp critique of societal flaws and the human condition.
"Das Din Ka Anshan" by Harishankar Parsai is a biting satire that exposes the hollowness of Indian democracy. With razor-sharp wit, Parsai unravels the intricate web of vested interests and manipulative strategies used to sway public opinion. The story highlights how a mere threat of self-immolation by one man is turned into a political opportunity, used by the powerful to serve their selfish ends. In doing so, it reflects a democracy hijacked by opportunistic leaders and a public unaware of its own strength.
"Do Jutoon Ki Kahani" by Sharad Joshi is another satirical gem, where an old, worn-out pair of shoes becomes the unlikely narrator. With humor and irony, the shoes plead with the public to recognize their utility and value.
"Laal Mirch" by Amrita Pritam shifts the tone slightly but strikes just as deeply. It sheds light on the double standards ingrained in society-the harsh judgments people pass on others, only to realize the truth when they themselves face similar situations. With her signature emotional depth and keen insight, Pritam forces us to confront our own hypocrisy and the selective morality we often practice. 
Together, these three stories form a powerful narrative. One that uses satire, symbolism, and realism to hold a mirror to society. This performance is not just an artistic interpretation, but an invitation to introspect, question, and perhaps, change.
