That is where I got to know this legendary writer Krishna Sobti, who carried the weight of her name very lightly. Unlike many famous writers who choose to insulate themselves within a space that they claim as exclusive, Krishnaji’s immense zest for life, her interest in people, her genuine interest in the works of other writers, and her gift for finding humour in the most unlikely situations made her a very friendly, warm and caring person who touched our lives in myriad ways. Krishnaji left us on 25th January this year, leaving behind a tangible absence. Of her it can be truly said that she lived her life to the hilt, scripting a magnificent life for herself while illuminating the lives of many others who had the good fortune to know her.

  • Shadows Speak: a Need to Revive the Shadow Theatres of India
    ISSN. 0972 - 8406 The NEHU Journal, Vol XIII, No. 1, January-June 2015 , pp. 21-31 Shadows Speak: A Need to Revive the Shadow Theatres of India ARTI N IRMAL 1 Abstract The Shadow Theatre or Shadow Puppetry or ‘Chhaya Natak’ of India is an ancient yet powerful example of folk theatre. On the basis of available evidences it has been found to be a predecessor of human theatre. This ancient form of leather puppetry in India is surviving through ages but it is sad to note that today in the age of film, television and internet, it is merely alive in few regions in India. Since these ‘Shadow Theatres’ signify our Indian culture, it becomes our duty to preserve and promote such art forms for generations to come. Against this background, the present paper aims to highlight the significance of shadow theatres in modern India with special reference to ‘Ravana Chhaya’ of Orissa. Keywords: Folk Theatre, Shadow Theatre, Leather Puppets, Ravana Chhaya, Liminal Zone. hadow Theatre is an ancient form of storytelling and entertainment which uses flat articulate figures to create the impression of moving Shumans. Shadows might seem transitory and temporary in nature, but they can be a powerful mode of artistic and theatrical representation too, if utilized artistically. Technologically, in Shadow Theatre the articulated figures are illuminated from behind the screen to create an illusion of moving characters. And then this illusion is adjusted skillfully to depict various stories from the Ramayana , the Mahabharata , the Puranas , and the folktales. In this way, they not only enhance our understanding of the Indian cultural tradition but also cast a profound social appeal on the viewers.
