Mahesh Dattani is, by all accounts, one of the India’s most lauded, critically acclaimed and thought-provoking contemporary playwrights in English.
Dr. Devanand’s work builds on his analytical study of Mahesh Dattani's ‘Collected Plays’ [Volume 1 and 2], encompassing fifteen plays... The seasoned author here brings out how the plays confront the contemporary issues in a clinical fashion. Readers will surely find this work academically insightful and intellectually stimulating.
