Jyoti
Prasad’s “Nimati Kannys” is a symbolic play written
in a highly philosophical vein depicting the role of the poet-philosopher
in wakening up a people from the demoralizing spell of stupor and
slumber. He has borrowed the theme like Brecht from folklore and devised
the attractive structure of his play through dynamic verse, songs
and dialogue “Karengor
Ligiri” was his second play. Here he introduced debate oriented
dialogues to discuss and argue on the various points that emerged
out of Kanchan’s marriage with Sunder Konwar who knew full well
that she loved his friend Ananga. Jyoti Prasad had very deftly brought
out the lyrical and romantic beauty of the plot through the unobtrusive
maid of the palace Sewali who nourished unalloyed love in the core
of her heart for the Prince
Sunder and sacrificed her life to save him from ignominy.
Clear
characterization, depicting clash of characters and inner psychological
conflict, lively dialogues with literary flavour In his third play
“Rupalim” set against tribal background. Jyoti Prasad
wrote “Khanikar before Labhita though it has been published
much later in the journal “Prakash” and included in
the complete works of Jyoti prasad published by the publication
Board, Assam. This is a social play depicting how the young artist
Nabin Phookan fought against the conservatism of the family and
went to Europe and through various vicissitudes reached his goal
and become a super star a sculptor
In
Labhita, we find a new Jyoti Prasad. In this play he presented the
significant episode connected with the revolution of 1942. There
is no hero and no heroine in this play although the play depicts
the reaction of the mind of simple village girl Labhita who swims
courageously through the torrents of the times and is killed when
planting the Indian National Flag on the soil of our British dominated
country. The quick passage of thrilling events and the dynamic character
of Labhita sustain the interest of the viewers /readers till the
end which is indeed inspiring.
