The Dynamics of Communalism in Mahesh Dattani’s Final Solutions

Author(s) Mr. Anowar Hossain
Country India
Abstract Mahesh Dattani’s play Final Solutions serves as a profound representation of communalism, exploring the deep-rooted religious tensions between Hindus and Muslims in India. Set against the backdrop of a communal riot, the play delves into the complexities of prejudice, historical grievances, and the cyclical nature of communal violence. Through its characters- each embodying different facets of communal attitudes- Dattani critiques the societal and psychological forces that perpetuate communal divisions. The play’s use of a chorus, symbolizing the collective voice of society, underscores how easily communal sentiments can be manipulated, leading to mob mentality. By weaving past and present through the character of Hardika, Dattani highlights how historical traumas continue to shape contemporary prejudices. Symbolism, such as the broken doll and locked doors, further emphasizes the barriers that communalism creates between communities. Ultimately, Final Solutions challenges the audience to confront their own biases and reflect on the societal structures that sustain communalism, urging a move towards empathy and mutual understanding. The play’s relevance extends beyond its immediate context, offering a timeless critique of the destructive power of communalism in any society.
