Voice of the streets -Safdar Hashmi

               

Street theatre as one of the most interactive, intimate, and impactful forms of the performing arts. According to  Safdar Hashmi Contemporary Indian street theatre has been drawing in equal measure  from our folk and classical drama as well as from Western drama .

It is a twentieth century phenomenon, born of the specific needs of the working people living under capitalist and feudal exploitation. 

Street theatre is basically a militant political theatre of protest. Its function is to agitate the people and to mobilize them behind fighting organizations.”


 

In fact, it has often been used as a medium to draw attention to social and political issues. Known as the oldest left-wing street theatre groups, city-based theatre group Jana Natya Manch (popularly known as Janam) has helped advance the expansion of this form of theatrical production.

 

The Janam—has put together a number of successful street productions for over 40 years. 

  

 Safdar Hashmi was a street drama artist. 

Safdar and his team were staging the play as part of their campaign for  Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU)-supported candidate in the Ghaziabad municipal elections. THEATRE activist Safdar Hashmi was brutally attacked while performing a street play, Halla Bol, at Jhandapur village in Sahibabad, on the outskirts of Delhi, on January 1, 1989.

 

 

When Safdar Hashmi was killed, he was 34 and had been a member of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) since the early 1970s. 

 

A bunch of student activists had revived the Delhi unit of the IPTA (Indian People’s Theatre Association) in late 1972. partly for ideological reasons .  

 

During the Emergency they had been totally destroyed. They needed our theatre in their reorganization efforts but they had no funds.”

 

A new kind of theatre was now needed, that a play that was 

(a) inexpensive 

(b) mobile and portable [and] 

(c) effective.” 

 

 

They read dozens of plays but none satisfied them. Janam decided to write its own plays. The first of these was Machine, a short, 13-minute play with a cast of six, acted in a circle with the audience on all sides, first performed on October 15, 1978. 

 

 

The idea of Drama ' Machine' emerged: as

“There is a chemical factory… called Herig-India. The workers there did not have a union. They had two very ordinary demands… They wanted a place where they could park their bicycles and… a canteen where they could get a cup of tea… The management was not willing even to grant these demands… The workers went on strike and the guards opened fire, killing six workers. So this old Communist leader told me about this incident… and he said, ‘Why don’t you write a play about it?’”

 

The initial draft of Machine was written by Safdar and another actor, and was finalized on the floor, where everyone presents contributed. Machine is an abstract play, in a way. 

 

The machine, created very simply by human figures, is the symbolic representation of capitalism. The worker, the capitalist and the security officer are all parts of the machine; they are complementary parts of a system founded upon the exploitation of one by the other; their co-existence, then, is unequal.

 

 

In the meanwhile, in December 1979, Janam’s first election play, Aya Chunao, was performed extensively in Haryana. Seven plays, then, in 14 months, totaling about 500 shows. 

 

The   street theatre activity was an explosion. This occurred in response to the attack on Janam on January 1, 1989, and the death of Safdar Hashmi as a result of this attack the following day.

 

Janam was performing Halla Bol(Raise Your Voice), a play on a recent seven-day industrial strike led by the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU).

 

After the attack and Safdar’s murder, 

Halla Bol became a rallying cry; it was performed by hundreds of old and new groups in several languages.  Doing the play became, by itself, a means of expressing anger, an emblem of protest, a gesture of resistance; the fact that Halla Bol is also quite a delightful, innovative play was nearly incidental. The attack on Janam and Safdar’s murder provoked nationwide (and international) protest. Street theatre, naturally, was at the very centre of these protests.

 

Thus, when artists decided to observe April 12, Safdar’s birthday, as the National Street Theatre Day.

 

 


 

Safdar was a multifaceted artist and was constantly soaking up new influences and trying out new technologies. He wrote a 

1.     24-part television serial on adult literacy and 

2.     women’s empowerment for the United Nations Children’s Fund; 

3.     he wrote a number of songs and plays for children,

4.     he designed posters for a number of mass organisations; 

5.     he took photographs; 

6.     and he conducted theatre workshops.

 

  •  He worked for a while at the West Bengal Information Centre in Delhi, and was instrumental in organising the first Ritwik Ghatak retrospective in the capital.
  •  
  • He also organised screenings of Cuban films, in particular those of Tomas Alea. 
  •  
  • He was a major force in rallying artists and intellectuals around larger issues of concern: at the time of the anti-Sikh riots in 1984 and subsequently in defence of secularism; in reviving the legacy of Premchand; in rallying artists and intellectuals in support of the seven-day strike in 1988.

 

 

“Safdar was an extremely broad-minded man, in a political sense. He wanted to open a broad cultural front. He could write poetry and plays, paint, act and sing. 

His idea of a cultural front was not confined to theatre. 

 

He visualized painters, musicians, singers, dancers, writers and critics – all to be drawn into a movement out of common interest. He was a creative genius, endowed with the zeal, energy and determination of a far-sighted organiser and theatre visionary.” •wife about Safdar

 

 

Safdar Hashmi’s birth anniversary—April 12—is also celebrated as National Street Theatre Day. To mark the occasion this year, Janam has been performing their play Andher Nagri all throughout the week in various neighbourhoods in the city. Inspired by writer Bharatendu Harishchandra’s eponymous play (1881), Andher Nagri is about a king who isn’t comfortable with any form of cultural expression and hence directs his nobles to punish the locals.

GENDER AND LANGUAGE



Gender: a social construct (within the fields of cultural and gender studies, and the social sciences.General usage of the term gender began in the late 1960s and 1970s, increasingly appearing in the professional literature of the social sciences. The term helps in distinguishing those aspects of life that were more easily attributed or understood to be of social rather than biological origin (see e.g., Unger & Crawford, 1992).

Some of theorists and researchers though have find that some of significant difference between men and women speak. 

Content

On average men and women discuss different range of topics.Certain topics were common to both gender. Female friends spent much time discussing personal and domestic subjects, relationship problems, family health and weight food and clothing, men and other women. Women were more likely to gossip about close friends and family. By contrast men spent more time  gossiping about sports figures and media personalities. 

Reason for communicating    

Men discussions involve greater amount of joking and good natured teasing. By contrast women's conversations focus more frequently on feelings, relationships and personal problems.      Women use conversation  to pursue social needs. Female speech typically contain statements showing support  for the other person, demonstrations of equality and efforts to keep the conversation going.

Conversational style

Women ask more questions. Women's speech that is less powerful and more emotional than men. Women's talk was judged more aesthetic where as men's talk was seen as more dynamic, aggressive, and strong.                                                      
 According to Lakoff, women’s talk has the following properties: 1) A large set of words specific to their interests: e.g. colour words like magenta, shirr, dart (in sewing), etc. 2) “Empty” adjectives such as divine, precious, lovely, cute, etc. 3) Tag questions and rising intonation in statement contexts: What’s your name dear? Mary Smith? 4) Use of hedges 5) Use of intensive “so” 6) Hyper correct grammar: women are not supposed to talk rough 7) Super-politeness 8) Ask more questions  .  Women speak a language of connection and intimacy.  Men speak a language of status and independence

Boys: 
• Tend to play in large groups that are hierarchically structured • Their group has a leader • 
Status is negotiated via orders, or telling jokes/stories 
• Games have winners and losers 
• Boast about skills, size, ability 
Girls:
 • Tend to play in small groups or in pairs • 
The center of a girl’s social life is a best friend • Within the group, intimacy is the key • Differentiation is measured not by status, but by relative closeness • Many of their activities do not have winners and losers (e.g. in hopscotch or jump rope, everyone gets a turn). • Girls are not expected to boast (in fact they are encouraged to be humble), or give orders (they would be bossy) Girls do not focus on status in an obvious way. They just want to be liked.

Myth: Women talk more than men
However:  Research found that men talk more often (Eakins and Eakins): men’s turns 10.66 secs, women’s 3-10 secs at faculty meetings  At academic confernces (Swacker): women 40.7% of the presentations, 40% of audience. But only 27.2% asked questions. There seems to be an asymmetry between private and public speaking—Tannen’s rapport versus report talk
