Question

discuss the role of cinema in arousing national consciousness towards the social issues​

Answer 1

Answer:

Theatre,  music  and  dance  are  the  three  traditional  art  forms  which  have  been  part  of  human culture.  The  beginning  of  the  modern  theatre  can  be  traced  to  the  building  of  the  Calcutta  theatre in  1779.  In  1795,  a  Russian  dramatist,  Gerasim  Lebedev  along  with  Goloknath  Das  staged  the Bangla  translations  of  two  English  comedies,  ‘Disguise’  and  ‘Love  is  the  best  doctor’  in Calcutta.   The  first  all-women  enactment  of  a  full-length  play  occurred  in  1888  when  the  ladies  of  the Tagore  household  performed  all  the  roles  in  Rabindranath  Tagore’s  “Mayar  Khela”.  With  the foundation  of  Indian  People’s  Theatre  Association  (IPTA),  theatre  became  even  closer  to  the people.  Theatre  continued  to  flourish  in  Bengal  as  a  result  of  the  dedicated  efforts  of  Girish Chandra  Ghosh,  D.L.  Roy,  Rabindranath  Tagore,  Bijon  Bhattacharya  ,  Utpal  Dutta,  Shambhu Mitra,Sishir  Bhaduri,  Soumitra  Chatterjee,  Balraj  Sahani,  Habib  Tanvir  and  several  others.
