About The Book:
In this thought-provoking play, the author delves deep into the post-independence political landscape of India. The narrative unfolds with Papaji, an architect, who draws the plans for a house that a contractor eventually constructs. However, as the house is completed, the rubble, leftover cement, bricks, and mortar are discarded, symbolizing the forgotten elements of a process once deemed essential. The contractor doesn’t live in the house; only the one who desires to maintain its homeliness does.
The play serves as an allegory for India’s post-independence political and social situation. While the country pursued independence, it lacked the vision and strength to nurture the newly-formed nation. The play critiques how, instead of the masses, it is only the selfish, the corrupt, and the opportunists who enjoy the fruits of freedom. Through candid dialogue, the play scrutinizes the disconnect between the dreams of independence and the reality that followed.
