(Review of ‘Kulangar’ drama by Abodh Bandhu Bahuguna)
‘Kulangar’ is one of the sixteen dramas of ‘Chakrchal’ a drama collection by Abodh Bandhu Bahuguna. Abodh Bandhu Bahuguna wrote the drama for radio medium.
The subject and aim of the drama are very confusing. The playwright wanted to tell many mottos and in making so the dramatist failed to convey the desired message. There are characters as Chitra Singh his son Sher sing, mother of Chitra Singh, a Dalit his beautiful daughter, two Mitra Nand Bahuguna of Jhala village, Patwari .
Since, the drama is ineffective much is not possible to write about this drama.
