Jalandhar: Dr Ajay Sharma’s 3 Dramas-Operation Blue Star, Lockdown and Dalit Pandit were released by IQAC of Doaba College Jalandhar today. Principal Dr Naresh Kumar Dhiman , Dr Simar Sadosh-Eminent Critic, Novelist and Poet, Prof Sandeep Chahal-Co-ordinator IQAC, Parul Sharma-Novelist and Dr Avinash Bawa formally released Dr Ajay Sharma’s 3 dramas- Operation Blue Star, Lockdown and Dalit Pandit written during lockdown period .
Principal Dr Naresh Kumar Dhiman said that Dalit Pandit is a satirical take on the various self- made unnecessary rituals by the priests and how this thing exploits the religious emotions of a common man and when he tries to question that, he is being ridiculed by priests and is forced to give offerings against his will.
Dr Simar Sadosh said that the drama 'Operation Bluestar' captures the psyche of a Sikh soldier who is asked to attack the sacrosanct place of the Sikhs- The Golden Temple in 1984 as a part of his duty. Just before the attack, he engages in a conversation with a fellow Sikh soldier about the gravity of the situation and its possible outcomes. Unable to cope up with the situation, he finally looses control over his mind and the story then, shifts to mental asylum. The scars on his heart lead him to this dreadful position and the readers are left to speculate on the effects of this tragedy on the mind of a Sikh soldier.
Prof Sandeep Chahal said that Lockdown highlights different shades of events and incidents during lockdown and very well strikes a chord with the present challenges and future fears, mankind is facing. While the world is grappled with corona pandemic, Dr. Sharma has channelised his energy very well into creative pursuits and the result is, he has penned down three books- Operation Bluestar, Dalit Pandit and Lockdown. While the first two books are full length plays and the last one is a collection of seven nano dramas.So far, his pen has produced 18 books and many other works are still in the pipeline such as IVF clinic, Aaine ki Peeth and so on.
Dr Avinash Bawa said that in the field of Hindi literature, Dr. Ajay Sharma is a well known name and needs no introduction. He is the only contemporary writer whose novels have been prescribed in prestigious universities of India.
