These are the words of a leader who instils a sense of duty and patriotism in his soldiers. Without any doubt, Gajab Tichi Adaa Natak offers insights into the mindset of today’s rulers & leaders who are driven by their thirst for power as well as the desire to always be better than others.
Upon winning the war, the victorious king is greeted by a caravan of 21,000 women. As a symbol of power and support. The women, in a powerful moment, sing a comforting song that awakens the warrior spirit within their soldier husbands. The Natak deals towards the world of war and violence.
Sadly, a war that just leaves behind immense loss, devastation, and human casualties, all of which could be prevented through mutual understanding and peaceful resolutions. Are wars fought for valid reasons? How are the devastating consequences of war overlooked despite numerous conflicts throughout history? These are some of the thought-provoking questions raised by Marathi Natak Gajab Tichi Adaa.
#3 Relevant Social Message Of The Consequences Of War And The Need For Women’s Empowerment
On the other hand, a group of women challenge these traditional gender roles and advocate for peace. They decide to advise their husbands to stop going to war in order to avoid its harsh later consequences. They want their husbands to reflect upon the consequences of war and the value of peace.
However, their thoughts go completely unignored by their husbands due to their blind loyalty to war and to contemplate the true cost of victory.
Therefore, the powerful female protagonist – Lakshmi, inspires and empowers the group of women to challenge these societal norms and fight for a harmonious world. She suggests an innovative approach to make their husbands (the soldiers) listen to their wives’ advice. For instance, she says to avoid all physical connections with their husbands until they choose not to fight or go to another war. And that’s when the battle between them starts.
Unable to endure their wives’ decisions and facing numerous challenges, their husbands decide to bring this issue to the attention of their king and make a joint effort to abstain from participating in the upcoming war.
Now how the group of women are able to convince their husbands and the king to stop the future war is something that needs to be watched in one of the upcoming shows of Gajab Tichi Adaa Natak.
