The drama Prakashputra brings to the forefront a poignant narrative set against the backdrop of the Namantar Prashna movement. It focuses on the story of Bapu, a young Dalit activist, and his idealistic, educated family. Despite overcoming poverty and achieving self-reliance, Bapu's fiery speeches and defiant actions lead him and his family into exile. His outspoken rhetoric sparks intense protests, riots, and arson, resulting in the burning of his parents' home. As Bapu is arrested by the Anti-Corruption Department and falls into poverty, he begins to lash out at his wife, Suma, blaming her for his frustrations. His journey through personal turmoil challenges the idea of education, leaving his father to question its true value. A deep and vivid exploration of social and personal conflict, Prakashputra dives into the complexities of Dalit mentality and the harsh realities of social activism.
