Habib Tanvir : Charandas Chor Path breaker, master satirist, legendary actor and dramatist, Habib Tanvir, (b. 1923) has pushed the boundaries of theatre in India for over half a century now. His masterpiece, Charandas Chor offers an incisive blend of tradition and modernity, folk creativity and skills on the one hand and modern critical consciousness on the other. It is this as well as enriching blend that makes his work so unique and memorable. The present critical study is an attempt to unravel the complexities of this “amazingly simple yet explicitly meaningful” play which is unique in both form and content. Shakti Batra has been Vice-Principal, Dyal Singh College (University of Delhi). He has also taught at the Kabul University and the International university of Kyrgyzstan, Bishkek as well as students from the Tibetan Public Service Commission, Dharamsala, and Kiynshu University, Japan.
