Blackboard Land play is an unique creation by artists and its has special teachings with crucial values. The play explores the psyche of human violence. The plot revolves around three people who are caught in an isolated place at the periphery of war. The place is situated near the merging borders of two states, or rather regions, which may have a common ethnic background.
The dialects spoken by the characters differ from each other, which further aggravates the conflict between them to a point when the mistrust starts bordering on physical violence. India today, with a diverse ethnic, linguistic and cultural background, stands at a juncture where internal boundaries can be created due to political reasons.
The last decade has seen the emergence of separatist and fundamentalist groups due to political dissatisfaction and nonchalance on the part of the government towards civil liberties and human rights.
