What comes sharply under the scanner is Dattani's notation of gender and class discriminations, familial affiliations and discords, communal politics and violence, as well as the dilemmas and tensions of the differently able, the transgendered, the gay and the lesbian.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEqually does this study critique Dattani's use of the (now) legitimized Indian English and its subtle variations, explorations of functional stage-spaces, enhancement of audience-participation, re-invention of text as performance, and his deep involvement in the issues and concerns of his drama without sounding didactic or prescriptive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINTRODUCTION\u003cbr\u003eAngelie Multani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
