Power Politics In Mahesh Dattani’s Dance Like A Man

SUMMARY

Power politics is all pervasive.  It intrudes into every space. Every living thing – human beings, wild animals or pet animals with their physical strength-- is under the hues of its own identity with its unique colour of the society. Rich dominates poor because the former has money; Ministers domineer the bureaucrats. Man rules his family and makes all the decisions. Stronger animals control weaker ones. Thus power monger is everywhere. Mahesh Dattani’s drama is a one that underlines the fact of power politics in his drama with the characters in the name of myriad relationships.
