Girish Karnad’s Retold History in The Dreams of Tipu Sultan

Abstract

Indian English Drama has registered a remarkable growth and maturity through the English translation of Hindi, Marathi and the Bengali plays in the 1980s and the 1990s. A study of Karnad’s amply reveals that he has added a new dimension to Indian drama through his substantial contribution. Talking an all-round view of things it may be said that Indian English drama has achieved a considerable measure of success during these years. Yet it has to go a long way to complete with the other literary genres in Indian English literature.
