Synopsis
Based on the life and achievements of Mahatma Jyotiba Phule and his wife Savitribai, this is a socio-political and historical play. Noteworthy about the play is that most actors in it are cleaners of the Pune Municipal Corporation. Although the play has a serious tone, it is presented in the most entertaining manner by incorporating elements of song, dance and drama in it. Mahatma Phule was a social reformer transcending many social barriers of caste and gender. He and his wife initiated education programmes for women and the untouchables. The Phule couple also fought for the rights of workers and farmers. In the contemporary times of social intolerance, farmer suicides and female foeticide, the play becomes more relevant than ever.
