War of spirit and body
(A report of stage-drama by Hemant Das 'Him')
The play 'Raja Salahes' is based on a very popular folklore in Mithila where a king who is a well-wisher of his subject has to wage a war with an unjustifiable king named Chauharmal. But the people from where Chauharmal hails from still regards Chauharmal as their hero. The fight does not only signifiy the war of land but much beyond to it, is a manifestation of a clash of ideologies. At one end, Raja Salahes was inclined more towards spiritual pursuit whereas on the other side, King Chauharmal had chosen a path capitalizing on physical strength. And ultimately the supremacy of spirit is established over the bodily strength. The King Salahes makes a lot of soliloquies and King Chauharmal is busy with oiling his stick with his four stout supporters. Catering to the fancy of large section the audiences, It was also replete with love scenes and dance sequences of the belle group.
