The play runs on two explicit themes of homeless and shifting. Moreover, the male in his works have usually been the domineering set who have commodified or objectified women in some way or the other, but this play Sakharam Binder, has a very distinctive theme. The system is the enslavement of women in postcolonial India, despite the promises of democracy and modernity.
