“Habib Tanvir tries to criticize our existing social and political setup
through the play ‘Charandas Chor’. Discuss.
Answers
Answer:
In this thread, Habib Tanvir, the protagonist projected as an anti-hero image by the playwright, bares out the melodramatic scenario of a societal context. The so called politicians and bureaucrats as well as people belonging to the privileged classes are hoarding money snatching from other by means of exploitation and distributive infringement of the assets of our country. But, they are not found culpable whereas, a petty thief when gets indulged in pilferage for his survival, he/she is often found offender and laws and regulations punish them severely. But, those who steal everything, everyday, all resources befooling us, get the escape route.
It's an dramatic irony set up projecting Habib Tanvir as a protest against these social maladies.
