Recently,
a drama show of “Matha Panchar” written and directed by Rajan Khatiwada came to
an end in Mandala Theater. Praised and appreciated by many, the drama reflected
some of the major concerns of our society. It is a story of a poor village boy
who wants to become a government school teacher. He walks in for the interview,
stands out as the most qualified one and becomes simply rejected because
another authority sends a different teacher for the school he applied. With a
sick mother in his home to take care of and constant threats by the local thugs,
he finds no other alternate for livelihood than to go for one of the Arabian
countries for employment. Who never lost hope even in the darkest days of his
life, Bijaya the village boy, returns dead in a dark coffin. And, this is how
the drams ends leaving audience with tears and melancholy.
Well,
that is not just the whole story. The circumstances that forces Bijaya to walk
out of his country are even more tragic. Remnants of the decade-long conflict have taken the form of local thugs who
are now flourishing in every corner of sub-urban cities and villages. If you
think it’s hard to find one; think of the syndicate holders, karyakartas, dons of terai, smuggling tycoons
heard now and then in the Radio and many others disguised behind the impressive
luga they wear.
Should
I even talk about corruption?
