The plays of Mahesh Dattani emerged as ‘fresh arrival’ in the domain of Indian English drama in the last decade of the twentieth century. Dattani showcases the mean, ugly and unhappy aspects of human life in his works. His plays deal with contemporary issues. The conflict between individual and social convention is the central motif of his plays. He is the first Indian English dramatist to be awarded Sahithya Akademi Award. He aims not only at changing society, but also giving the audience some kind of insight into their own lives.
