Habib Tanvir is a significant, immortal presence in the Study of Folk Theatre of India. Embedded in local identity and rustic values of humanity, the plays of Habib Tanvir project living expressions of the complex social system of different classes, castes, and tribes. His contribution still holds much validity in influencing ‘good living’ and promoting ‘collective solidarity’ in the face of rapid socio-cultural changes. A genuine portrayal of human life and an authentic expression of folk artistry, Tanvir is an ‘eager read’ to those who desire ‘conscientious dramatic art.’
