(Review of’ Chinta
‘ (2011) a Mini Garhwali Drama by playwright Kula Nand Ghansala)
Chinta Mani’s wife leaves him for
her mother’s house just before the announcement of party tickets for the forthcoming
the election. For many years, Chinta Mani worked for the party and is a dedicated
party worker. Due to population shifting his area is now reserved for females
only to fight election. His wife is not there. His uncle Veer Sing counsels
him. Chintamani declared the candidate in place of his wife and everybody is
shocked.
The mini drama is
about political maneuvering and discusses about various mal practices used in getting
party ticket, winning the election and thereafter. Ghansala a renowned drama
activist also tells in the drama ‘Chinta
‘about two marriages of our famous leaders (Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna, Dr. Shiva
Nand Nautiyal etc).
The drama is humorous
and totally satirical. There is much scope for director and performers to make the
drama a hilarious and provocative too.
Kula Nand has
power to play with Garhwali words to make drama provocative.
