When India became free on 15th August 1947, Gandhi had no message for the nation, nor was he celebrating India’s Independence. He was in Calcutta fighting riots that were splitting the communal fabric of the country. He firmly believed that Religious Togetherness could only keep us united as a nation, and as a human being. Gandhi believed a respectful study of other’s religion was a sacred duty and it did not reduce reverence for one’s own. He was looking out for those universal principles which transcended religion as a dogma. This play is an attempt to bring his idea of religion to stage which he practised through his prayer meetings. The play is an amalgamation of movement, theatre, visuals and hymns.
