Badal Sircar
A Legacy of Bringing Theatre to the People
[Badal Sarkar, a revolutionary, pro-people theatre personality and a unique and towering figure in the cultural movement, passed away on 13th May.
Sudhindranath (Badal) Sircar was born in 1925. He had an engineering degree from the Shibpur Engineering college and he worked in England in the 1960s.
In the turbulent period of Bengal in the late 1960s and 1970s, marked by the impact of the Naxalbari uprising and severe repression, Sircar arrived at a new theatrical idiom, taking theatre beyond the proscenium stage, to the common people.
He established the theatre group Shatabdi in 1967, and with its repertoire of anti-establishment plays, Shatabdi toured the Bengal countryside, braving state terror and armed brigades of state-sponsored goons.
Theatre activists and groups like Yuvaneeti of the ML movement in the Hindi-speaking states drew great inspiration and support from Badal Sircar.
He often visited Allahabad
