DARA SHIKOH - STORY OF A HISTORIC BETRAYAL

By MTG editorial	Host-A-Performance \| Schedule

The play is about the life and times of Dara Shikoh, the eldest son of Emperor Shah Jehan, and who translated the Upanishads into Persian.

DARA SHIKOH tells the story of the eldest son and heir apparent to Mughal emperor Shah Jehan. He was a great visionary, a man who understood the depths of Indian civilization.

It is also the story of the great man's betrayal and his brutal end brought about by his brother Aurangzeb. The play, avoiding the palace intrigues, concentrates upon Dara's Sufi leanings. The story of Dara Shikoh's life re-asserts the beauty of India's composite culture that cannot afford fundamentalism of any kind.
