Mahatma Gandhi struggled for our rights and got us our freedom, but how much do we know about the ideas, impulses and compulsions that led to his various social and freedom movements?” says Suresh Sharma, Director-in-charge of National School of Drama (NSD) in Delhi. To mark the 150th birth anniversary of the Mahatma, Sharma is directing a play, Pehla Satyagrahi, (pictured) with the NSD Repertory Company, of which he is the chief. Written by Ravindra Tripathi, the play traces the evolution of Gandhi from a lawyer in South Africa, who opposed an Act that required Indians to get fingerprinted, to a powerful force behind the Quit India Movement.
