“Miruna George’s well researched book reflects the post-colonial trend of subversion and liberation against the politics of hegemony. The book explores Dattani’s
protagonists’ search for their identities with the often oppressive structures of custom, tradition, and gender. The book artistically maps the aspirations of the deprived mid marginalised sections of society and depict the acute conflicts of contemporary Indian urban life. Reading the book is an intellectual engagement.”

This is an important intervention in the scholarship on Dattani, one that reads his works in terms of various intersectionalities as also place it in the traditions of
Indian theatre.
