‘Urf Darasingh’- Jhoda settlement’s transitional period (Photo Feature)

Kathmandu: The staging of the drama ‘Urf Darasingh’ is underway at Mandala Theatre.

The drama Urf Darasingh is the sequel to Jhoda, which Chulachuli Theatre staged at Shilpee Theatre in 2023 (2080 B.S). The main theme of the drama ‘Urf Darasingh’ is about the Jhoda settlement’s transitional period and struggle against the Panchayat regime from 1963 (2020) to 1977 (2034) Bikram Sambat.

Darasingh is one of the characters that emerged during the Panchayat era. It was the phase when Jhoda land management was difficult, the oppression of the panchayat regime, and the implementation of the Land Reform. This dialectical nature has been presented in the drama.

Likewise, the story of the drama revolves around how the character became DaraSingh. Who made the character transform into Darasingh?
