- Mesh O Rakkhosh (The Sheep and the Demon) by legendary playwright Manoj Mitra is a powerful political satire presented as a modern fairy tale.
- Through the innocent sheep and the fearsome demon, the play explores corruption, abuse of power, and the suffering of ordinary people, showing how those who promise to protect society can become the very oppressors they once opposed, making it a timeless commentary on politics and human nature.
- In the play, the playwright shows that power changes even the erstwhile timid people by making them arrogant, cruel, and insensitive to the suffering of others. Through the symbol of the Demon, he suggests that unchecked power can transform ordinary individuals into oppressors.
- Is this equally relevant today?
