OUR SPECIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

3. Mrs. Moloyashree Hashmi

Mrs. Moloyashree Hashmi is the wife of Late Shri Safdar Hashmi, the Founder-Member of Jan Natya Manch (J.N.M.) and the main driving force behind it, who died a few years back following a murderous attack on him and other J.N.M. activists by some anti- social elements. Today, J.N.M. is known as the pioneer street theatre grown in India. Some of its plays are topical as they were written for specific campaigns but most deal with the abiding issues like the position of women, communalism, the education system, the price rise, corruption, economic disparity, people struggle etc. The Board was fortunate to have the association of J.N.M. during its Orientation Programme. The street theatre (Sab Mein Sahib Bharpoor Hai Ji) performed before the participants was very much applauded by one and all. Prepared in December 1992, this street play highlights the long secular traditions of our country. It is about the life of 18th century Sufi poet, Sant Paltu Dass, who talked of the universal brotherhood and of humankind. The play is full of songs and poems with a powerful message written by Sant Paltu Dass and rendered in simple folk tunes. The convenor of J.N.M. Smt. Moloyashree Hashmi is presently working in the Sardar Patel Vidyalaya, Lodi Estate, New Delhi.
