THE PLAY:-
The End of “Wisdom“is the End of Civilisation itself. This message is encased in the very contemplative emotive play “PUNASCHA ABOLAKARA “.

In this changing scenario, the cunning new minister virtually misruled the country in the name of the new King which leads to complete anarchy in the land. Due to miss-governance, once a rich and developed nation gradually faces many problems, mentally parasite and spineless King dismissive of every prudent advice of Bigyanbyakti chooses to approve strange and disastrous decisions suggestedby the cunning minister which only multiplies the problems.
