Re: help - Holi, 1984

Dear Shivam,

All the best in your efforts...

For the record, even before Ketan Mehta directed the film, HOLI was a play in Marathi which was staged (actually they managed without a proper stage) also in college campuses...?

With due regards to the anti-ragging campaign, HOLI was not a straightjacketed "anti ragging play". It aslo opened a discussion on the mob mentality, the plight of an underdog etc... a mention of one such discussion in the IIT Mumbai (after staging of the play, where the director, Vijaya Mehta, was present) can be found in Sankalp, a collection of autobiographical writings of some 20-odd dalit/leftist/socialist youth movement leaders in Maharashtra. The book, now out of print, is in Marathi.
