Exploitation of Women and Patriarchal Domination in
Vijay Tendulkar’s Silence! The Court is in Session

S. Subalakashmi
Dr. M. Premavathy

Abstract

Most of the plays deal with the theme of love, sex and violence. The reveal anger and frustration of the post – 1960 generation in the Indian context. The ideas implicit in the themes are revolutionary. They are opposed to the conventional norms and established values. The emphasis here is on human nature and its complexities. In projecting the revolt of the plays’ protagonists against conventionality, Tendulkar displays his love of humanity and his commitment to human values. The psychological study explores shifts and changes that have taken place in the modes of human thinking, feeling and behaving with regard to Tendulkar,s characters among which we see highly typified as well as individualised men and women.

Keywords: Vijay Tendulkar, Silence! The Court is in Session, injustice, womanhood, inequality, sadism, victimization

Vijay Tendulkar

Vijay Tendulkar is a leading contemporary Indian Playwright. His Shantata! Court Chalu Ahe (1967) is a well-known Marathi play. Priya Adarkar translated it as Silence! The Court is in Session (1978). He emerged as an artist with national reputation and recognition. In his plays he successfully depicts the social problems. He looks at the problems of society from a new and original angle. Over the past century there has been a great increase in number of women in the labor force. Though there has been a lot of advocacy towards bringing equality. It is still a farfetched idea. Women’s contribution to the present-day business is very significant and rapid increasing. But women still have to face a lot of challenges to acquire status equality. Apart from economic independence work is an essential means of enabling a person to develop a sense of identity and self-esteem.
