What is mere‘teentappar’ todevelop-ment au-

thorities is home sweet hometo many. So, how fair is it tosimply raze a slum to theground in the name of ‘clean-ing up’ a city?

This was the questionsJaipur’s young amateurartists chose to raise at theend of their theatre work-shop, which had been organ-ised by National School ofDrama, Sarthak Sansthaand JKK. Directed by SabirKhan, the play Teen Tappar

raised more than a few eye-brows and not all for theright reasons. The crude lan-guage of the play, for in-stance, was not liked by all.

However, as the directorreasons, “You cannot expectpeople from slums to speakaristocratically.” Writer NagBodas’s script brought outthe condition of the poor ef-

fectively. The play starts witha man announcing the begin-ning of the play. This is whensome people dressed in ragsenter the auditorium, andwalk up to the stage shout-ing, ‘Rehne ko ghar do,nahin to gaddi chhod do’!

From this scene, the actorscommand the undivided at-tention of their audience.

The slum is introducedwith a typical morning sceneset in dim lights. This is whena government officer arrivesto announce the NagarSwachchata Abhiyan. Theslum is going to be razed.From placing a Shiv Lingaon the garbage hill to takingout loud rallies, the residenttry everything in the bookand outside of it to save theirhome. All in vain! They can’tfight the city hall.

The play ends as the char-acters exit the auditorium,the same way they had en-tered. Khan explained that hechose this play, because of itssocial relevance.
