Written in 1989 in the backdrop of mandirmandal conflict, this play draws parallels in the socio-religious, political and economic conditions between southern India in the 12th century A.D. during Bhakti Movement and current times as we see them today. Eight hundred years ago in the city of Kalyan, a man called Basavanna assembled a congregation of poets, mystics, social revolutionaries and philosophers unmatched in their creativity and social commitment. They opposed idolatry, rejected temple worship, upheld equality of sexes, and condemned the caste system. Events take a violent turn when they act on their beliefs and an upper caste Brahmin girl is married to a non-Brahmin boy. Rakt Kalyan (Taledanda) is a story spanning a few weeks that shows how a vibrant, prosperous society is plunged into anarchy and terror.
