>> Court Martial (play)
Catch a special theatrical presentation of the famous Hindi play, Court Martial. The play deals with the functioning of the Army, which people are not too familiar with. Based on the differences between the upper and lower castes, the play emphasises on how the Army should be above all social prejudices. The play is a must-watch with your family or friends, to understand the true meaning of patriotism, especially at this time in the country.
