This book explores the representation of Hinduism through myth and
discourse in urban Hindi theatre in the period 1880-1960. It
discusses representative works of seven influential playwrights and
looks into the ways they have imagined and re-imagined Hindu
traditions. Diana Dimitrova examines the intersections of Hinduism
and Hindi theatre, emphasizing the important role that both myth
and discourse play in the representation of Hindu traditions in the
works of Bharatendu Harishcandra, Jayshankar Prasad, Lakshminarayan
Mishra, Jagdishcandra Mathur, Bhuvaneshvar, Upendranath Ashk, and
Mohan Rakesh. Dimitrova'a analysis suggests either a traditionalist
or a more modernist stance toward religious issues. She emphasizes
the absence of Hindi-speaking authors who deal with issues implicit
to the Muslim or Sikh or Jain, etc. traditions. This prompts her to
suggest that Hindi theatre of the period 1880-1960, as represented
in the works of the seven dramatists discussed, should be seen as
truly 'Hindu-Hindi' theatre.
