Indian contribution to World Drama is immense. The dramatic powers of our Indian dramatists are matchless and their experiments with stage in traditional and modern age are wonderful. At the beginning stage our dramatists had British influence. Some of our plays are covered out of mythological stories. But later dramatists like Asif Curimbhoy, Badal Sircar, Vijay Tendulkar, Mahesh Dattani, Manjula Padmanabhan, Mohan Rakesh took Indian Drama to sublime heights. Drama should be examined, analysed and our synthesis of analysis should be brought out in the form of a book which will be helpful to scholars, critics and also dramatists in future. It is high time to read, think and retrospect the creative works of the Indian Dramatists in English. We wish that the scholarly articles included in the book will open new vistas to the voyage of Indian Drama in English. We thank all the contributors for their critical and thought provoking insights into the Indian Drama in English. We pay our tributes to Badal Sircar and Vijay Tendulkar for their magical contribution to the field of drama which has left an indelible impression in the hearts of readers, critics and audience all over the world. We dedicate this book to them.
