Answer 1

One of the greatest pioneers of classical Sanskrit drama, Bhasa is said to have lived around 3rd Century A.D. He is one of the earliest known Sanskrit dramatists of ancient India. An Indian scholar, Mahamahopadhyaya Ganapati Sastrigal, rediscovered thirteen of his plays in the year 1912. Not much is known about the life history of Bhasa. There are no written records of his life nor is there a biography of Bhasa. It is said that the great poet Kalidasa was inspired very much by Bhasa and adopted most of his techniques. Only 13 plays were restored in Kerala in the beginning of the 12th century. Out of these 13 stories, 6 are based on the epic of Mahabharata, which shows Bhasa flare for Dramatic stories and plays. Bhasa belonged to the times when the society was politically, economically, socially and culturally dynamic. To know more about Bhasa, continue to read this insightful biography on him.
