"Ghashiram Kotwal" written by Vijay Tendulkar. Ghashiram Kotwal is a story of the conflict between Ghashiram a north Indian Brahmin from Kanuj and Nana Phadnavis is a chief minister of the Peshwa in Maharashtra. Even the play may be considered as tragedy of power and the conflict between Ghashiram and Nana Phadnavis can be seem as the conflict between power and powerlessness.
He caught as a thief on the first day in the city. He was arguing that he is not thief but Police are not listening and then he took a vow.
"The thief is a simple thief, the Police are official thief".
The official people don't know the rules and regulations of their status. He surrender his daughter to Nana and he made such a trick rules for people like nothing do wrong without permission.
It is frightening that Ghashiram gives his daughter Gauri to Nana Phadnavis to become a Kotwal. Ghashiram is suffering and poor condition creates sympathy for him but after becoming Kotwal what he did is terrific.
" Gauri older Nana does Ghashiram rules ".
He is totally insanity of taking revenge. He fail to understand the true face of Nana. Poona's people are not trust on him because is an outsider. Nana Phadnavis is a lustful man. He is a leader of nine courtesy, impulsive nature, his already married with 6th wife and he is married 7th wife and relation with Gauri-fourteen years old. He is destroyed the life of poor girl.
" How beautiful formed what a lovely figured! Did you see! ".
Whenever he look at new girl then ever some deeds grow up in his heart. He misused his power. Gauri plays crucial role in the play. This play is written in simple languages but it's satire, dark humour concept and content are miraculous.
