KAMLA

Manuscript

Vijay Tendulkar • GUJARATI

Manuscript No: OMS - 230 TMC: OMS - 230

Description (English)

“Kamla” is a powerful play by Vijay Tendulkar. The play is based on a real-life inspired incident and exposes the harsh realities of media exploitation, patriarchy, and human trafficking.

The story revolves around a journalist who buys a tribal woman named Kamla from a flesh market and uses her as proof in a sensational news story. Through this act, the play highlights how women, especially from marginalized communities, are often treated as objects rather than human beings.

The play also explores the journalist’s personal life, revealing hypocrisy, power imbalance in marriage, and the moral decay in society. Kamla becomes a symbol of innocence and victimization in a system driven by exploitation and greed.

Description (Gujarati)

“कमला” विजय तेंडुलकर का एक प्रसिद्ध नाटक है, जो समाज की कठोर सच्चाइयों को उजागर करता है। यह नाटक मीडिया, स्त्री शोषण और मानव तस्करी जैसे गंभीर मुद्दों पर आधारित है।

कहानी में एक पत्रकार एक आदिवासी महिला कमला को खरीदकर उसे अपने समाचार की “सच्चाई” के रूप में प्रस्तुत करता है। इस घटना के माध्यम से यह दिखाया गया है कि समाज में कमजोर वर्ग की महिलाओं को अक्सर वस्तु की तरह देखा जाता है।

नाटक पत्रकार के निजी जीवन और उसकी पत्नी के साथ संबंधों को भी दर्शाता है, जहाँ पाखंड और असमानता उजागर होती है। कमला शोषण और मासूमियत का प्रतीक बन जाती है।
