Play of ideas
India. A word which is uttered, played, replayed, lived and desecrated infinite times.
But when does one stop to wonder and consider it. Sons of Babur is a play within a play which cleverly explores the meaning of nationhood.
It traces the birth of a nation with the aid of a questioning and determined college student, Rudra, and his college friends who are fresh with idealism and purpose.
Rudra goes back in time to the first Mughal, Babur, with an indisposed Bahadur Shah Zafar as his guide.
Bahadur Shah Zafar takes Rudra through the blood-stained chambers of history to unravel its workings, intrigues and sacrifices.
The play is replete with ideas and suggestions which are crucial in fragile times like ours.
