Post-colonialism deals with the effects of colonisation on formerly colonised states and peoples. The term has been used largely after the Second World War by thinkers and designates the post-independence period of any colonised nation. In late 1970s, literary thinkers started to focus the attention not only on the cultural and political effects but also economic and philosophical effects of colonisation on the affected countries. There are various thinkers who gave different definitions regarding the term post- colonialism. Badal Sircar’s writing style and theatre working are significant from the point of view of post-colonialism because of two reasons. Firstly, it was a reaction against the British style proscenium stage and secondly, he wrote as a medium of making people aware of the destructive effects of colonial rule on colonized nations. With these two aims Sircar developed his theatre form more relevant to highlight the effects of colonisation. Sircar was not contented with limiting his theatre to indoor performances. With the help of theatre, he felt that he could not fulfil his aim which was making common people aware of the injustices and exploitation. The aim cannot be fulfilled because of the poverty of common masses and hence the inapproachability of theatre to the people. The main aim of this paper is to highlight the issues like sufferings and injustices faced by the people with colonisation
