Eidgah ke Jinnat opened to a standing ovation in Jaipur in late February, while its next show had to be cancelled. What do you make of such diverse reactions to the play?

The people who opposed the play were part of a fringe right-wing Hindutva group in Jaipur. There were only four people who left the hall in the interval and later were instrumental in stopping the play, and all of them were part of this organisation. I think it is important for us as a society to understand that the legitimisation of lynching and mob violence in the name of Hindutva and nationalism has created several [fringe] organisations that are funded by major right-wing organisations. And it is their job to stay in the news. These are neither spontaneous nor ideological oppositions, but organised crimes. I am sure some people will feel differently about a piece of theatre that presents multiple perspectives on a particular idea, but the cancellation had nothing to do with that.
