| Article Name : | | | SOCIAL AND CULTURAL VALUES IN GIRISH KARNAD'S PLAY HAYAVADANA | | Author Name : | | | Amit Kumar | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-4471 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | In the field of Indian English drama, it is Girish Karnad whose arrival on literary scene during the formative years of this genre proved to be epoch-making. Karnad goes deeper into the roots of Indian culture─ its myths, legends, folklores and popular history to reflect the dilemma, conflict and predicament of humanity in the contemporary world. Known internationally as a playwright, a poet, an actor, a director, a critic and a translator, Girish Karnad has emerged as an emissary of Indian culture and dramatic art before the eyes of the world. Karnad's dramatic writing, though influenced by Western existential thinkers and dramatic theoreticians is well rooted in the native soil of Indian dramatic traditions, myths, legends, folklores and histories. Karnad himself finds Indian culture so much affluent in myths and legends that Indian writers need not go anywhere else for subject matter or for inspiration. | | Keywords : | | |
