About the Book

The book Decolonial Existence and Urban
Sensibility: A Study on Mahesh Elkunchwar
meticulously reflects upon some of the
selected translated plays of Marathi playwright
Mahesh Elkunchwar. It revolves around the
themes of decolonial existence and urban
sensibility in contemporary India as portrayed
in his plays with respect to post-independent
utban existence, socio-cultural existence
and gender. The book also looks forward
to establish a counterargument against
the idealized and totalitarian definitions
of West-centric existentialist philosophy,
and establish indigenous dimensions of
decolonial existence within specific contexts.
It dismantles the colonially structured existing
binaries of urban/rural, ethical/unethical
and high culture/low culture through the
diverse portrayal of human relationships in
contemporary India and broadly addresses two
inter-mingled perspectives. Firstly, it outlines
the thematic and dramatic perspectives of the
selected plays of Mahesh Elkunchwar and
secondly, it explores the multi-dimensional
philosophical perspectives that encapsulate
the theoretical latitude of decoloniality and
urban sensibility.
