Drama is an art form and a perfect medium to reflect the problems of the society and nation at large. It leaves indelible effect on the minds and triggers the process of bringing awakening and dynamic changes in the thinking pattern and attitudes. It holds a mirror to the society, highlighting the contemporary problems and also suggests the solutions by compelling the different categories of the society to introspect and ponder over the social evils and to make efforts to eradicate them.
