The Boy Who Wrote A Constitution

The Boy Who Wrote a Constitution is a play that seeks to inform children, and simultaneously have them meaningfully engage with the challenging boyhood and growing-up years of the person who came to write the Constitution of India, Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar. The playwright, Rajesh Talwar, has used the fabulous device of weaving together major events from Babasaheb's life-story and having them interspersed with scenes in which five children react to his life, struggles and achievements in terms of their own identities. This gives this unique and exciting play a contemporary feel, adding to the modern-day relevance of Ambedkar's life.
