SYNOPSIS: The sixties was the decade of protests and revolutions. All over the world young people, primarily students, who were disillusioned by the false and empty promises of the establishment and their leaders, rose to break the status quo. These bright young men and women gave their lives for the cause they believed in. India was also not free from this global phenomenon. In the eastern part of the country, in the state of West Bengal, a small incident in the village of Naxalbari inspired the youth of the state to take up arms against the might of the ruling government. These young men and women (later termed as the Naxalites), guided by the preaching’s of Mao Tse Dong (the premier of China and the Chinese communist party), gave up their career and their lives to build a new society. However their movement was crushed mercilessly by the government using all the tools of oppression they had to their disposal.
This play is about a person named Subimal who, once an active naxalite, had to flee his own country and come to America in search of a new life. Although Subimal did find a new life for himself, his past always haunted him, a past which he had always kept a deep secret. Suddenly, one day this secret starts to reveal itself to his son Somu from a long lost diary. Somu, a Harvard junior, is extremely curious to know the details of his father’s past, wants to know more about the Naxalite movement. But he never could have guessed the kind of murky and deep waters he is getting into. Subimal tried to prevent the inevitable, but his failure to do so ultimately leads him to his redemption.
