Abstract Tendulkar’s plays have a direct, one to one relationship with reality. They do not whitewash the reality of life but exposes its evil, cruelty and brutality. Life as it is, is not very pleasant, but they have got the nerves to present the hollow and pretentious society, exposing the reality behind reality. Thus, all the plays concentrate on different aspects of human character. All of them highlight the human relationships. Tendulkar deals with the individual place against the backdrop of society and explores the tension between two. All the works contain a latent critique of modern society of mostly middle, upper and lower middle-class people, from different angles. In his play Kamala, Tendulkar unfolds the power structure through the characters of Kamala, Sarita, Kamalabai, Jaisingh and the proprietor.
