In Girish Karnad's famous play Bali: The Sacrifice, a Hindu king, who hates violence as part of the faith, converts to Jainism, his wife's religion, much to the dismay of the family. He is devastated when the queen betrays him with her infidelity. To avert the evil consequences of the affair, he has to sacrifice a cockerel to the gods, but he is a convert to the path of non-violence. To find a way out, he substitutes a bird made of dough, which, in turn, has unexpected consequences. Can violence be condoned by substitution, a mask for its true nature? |
