Vijay Tendulkar is among the few modern Indian dramatists who wrote successful plays on major social problems in India. According to Indian tradition it is not only love and laughter, mirth and attractiveness, which aesthetically attracts us but other ‘repulsive’ emotions and feelings like terror, fury, and disgust, can also yield us rasa if these are presented in an artistically delightful manner. (Mukerjee 91) Rasa which literarily means flavour is also the source of aesthetic pleasure. According to Bharata Muni, it is rasa which is both the ‘seed’ as well as ‘the fruit of the arts’. Whether it is Indian dance, poetics, or dramaturgy, it has direct or indirect relation with the realm of metaphysics. Due to the influence of the Western education, we seek guidance from the works of Aristotle, Horace and Longinus and forget our own entire philosophical and artistic traditions, which are in no way inferior to any other source of knowledge about art and craftsmanship. Most of the students of Indiaian art and literature tend to imitate the Western trends of beauty and aestheticism. Scholar Department of English Aligarh Muslim University ![]()
