The play "Court Martial" by Swadesh Deepak.
About the Play
An excellent play written by Swadesh Deepak, this is the story of a
Jawan Ram Chander who is being tried in a Court Martial case. His crime:
he had shot two senior army officers, killing one and seriously injuring
the other. And all this to protect his badly bruised self-esteem.
The Court Martial is presided by a war-veteran Col Surat Singh who has
been witness to many ‘life-and-death’ situations. But this trial puts him
in a queer position so far unknown to him and during the course of interrogation
he realises that the issues at stake are much larger than meet the eye.
