Moteram ka Satyagrah :

Munshi Premchand Ji's story "Moteram ka Satyagrah" is the story of a Pandit Ji who tries to stop,"Hartal" by the common people during the visit of Viceroy Sahab,and goes through a lot of moments that will tickle your funny bone to the core. The play is a comic-satire. On the whole, the play appears to be a simple story about a Brahmin from Banaras. Pandit Moteram Shashtri, as he is known,decides to go on a hunger strike to stop the Hartal. What he goes through is something that will make You fall off Your seats. The play also deals with the larger issue of the relationship between Religion and Politics. The songs during the play help You understand the connect between the scenes. The issues raised are as relevant and contemporary now, as they were under the colomset's rule.
