THE INTRICACY OF MAN-WOMAN RELATIONSHIP IN VIJAY TENDULKAR’S SAKHARAMBINDER

Vijay Tendulkar is a versatile writer who explores the hidden feelings of human beings. His plays set as a mirror to the burning issues of the society. Sakharam Binder is a very realistic play which throws light on the inner intricacy of man and woman. All his characters become real persons with flesh and blood. Vijay Tendulkar agrees this, “I could not proceed to write a play unless I saw my characters as real life people, unless I could see them moving, doing things by themselves, unless I heard them emoting, talking to each other. I was never able to begin writing my plan with an idea or a theme in mind”. The five characters in the play give different nuance of their character in different time. The complexities of the characters are very naturally portrayed and the readers and shocked by the nude truth. The women Lakshmi and Champa are two contrasting characters. Lakshmi is expelled by her husband and Champa willingly leaves her husband. It's like representing virtuous and evilness and yet they agree to stay together under one roof leading the climax. The Protagonist Binder is also having a contrasting character called Shinde. Dawood's is like a special appearance yet significant to raise turmoil in the leading characters.
