Ghashiram Kotwal

Ghashiram Kotwal is a Marathi play written by playwright Vijay Tendulkar in 1972 as a response to the rise of a local political party, Shiv Sena, in Maharashtra, India. Its theme is how men in power give rise to ideologies to serve their purposes, and later destroy them when they become useless. I was a music director and harmonium player for this play.
