BOTS 2010 Participants - LSR(Woh Main Tha,Ya Tha Woh Tu)

By the mere fact that a man forms a part of the crowd, he descends several rungs in the ladder of civilization. Isolated he may be a cultivated individual, in a crowd he’s a barbarian , creature acting by his instinct, ferocity and also the enthusiasm and heroism of primitive being. He’s induced to commit act contrary to his most obvious interest and his best known habits. The mob neither has judgment nor principle and the individual in a crowd is a grain of sand which the wind stirs up at will.

The play initially comments on herd mentality and makes a satirical reference to the blind mob following. It acknowledges the limitation of the legal and the administrative set up in curtailing such behavior and urges individuals to protect the humanity in the face of violence.

Our sole motive of picking up this particular social issue ( mob mentality) is the fact that it cannot be delt by judiciary so we chose this particular medium to reach out to masses and appeal to their individual morality.
