Evam indrajit  Evam Indrajit (and Indrajit) (Bangla: এবং ইন্দ্রজিত) is the most celebrated work of Indian dramatist and theater director Badal Sarkar. It was originally written in Bengali in the year 1963 and performed by the theatre group 'Shatabdi' formed by the writer. Evam Indrajit became a landmark in the Indian theaters and was translated into many languages over the years. Dr Pratibha Agarwal translated it into Hindi during the period of 1970. Later in the year 1974 it was translated into English by Girish Karnad and published by Oxford University Press. Evam Indrajit is a play about the mediocre class. It is a conversation between the writer and the protagonist Indrajit, who is introduced as 'and Indrajit', because he is part of the society rather than having an identity of his own. It is perceived as an Absurd Play such as Eugène Ionesco's "Amédée" or Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot" in the context that it portrays the emptiness and repetitiveness in the pattern and conformity of the modern society. The play subtly points towards Satrean Existentialism. It denotes that life is a circle with no ending, it ends where it begins, it is an endless road. The first act of the play begins with a writer, who is seen to be frustrated without any content to write his story. His mother comes onto the stage, asking him to eat dinner, unable to understand the depth of his struggle. He is inspired by Manasi and decides to write about four people among the audience. They are Amal Kumar Bose, Vimal Kumar Ghosh, Kamal Kumar Sen, and Nirmal Kumar. The name of the fourth person is not acceptable to the writer who asks him to reveal his real name. After a little persuasion he states his name to be Indrajit and when inquired about him, hiding his identity, he states he is afraid. He says he is scared to bring unrest by breaking the norm. Earlier that was not the case, but the loss of childhood and coming of age changed his priorities from happiness to peace. As the narration goes he is revealed to be a common man, born, schooling, work, every aspect of his life reoccurs in the same place. A scene is depicted where the same conversation is repeated, but only Indrajit realizes.
