ABSTRACT

Theatre marks a definite break towards the end of the 19^th century. Instead of presenting sentimental love scenes, the places of human fancies, the dramatist of this period, started presenting the events and incidents of the day-to-day life of common people and holds a mirror to life. Realism came into existence as a major tenet in Indian literature during the thirties of twentieth century, when a group of Indian students in London, joined together to form the Indian Progressive Writer’s Association. This movement ultimately led to the formation of the All-India Progressive Writers’ Conference at first at Lacknow in April 1936, and later at Calcutta, in 1938. The ultimate upshot of this movement was the formation of the Indian People’s Theatre Association, and Bengal was to take a leading part in both these movements. This movement affected all genres of literature and Indian drama was not the exception.
