After having blown the secularism trumpet for more than one hundred years, the grim consequence stares Bengal at its face. As a theocratic Islamic state gets its grip tighter after the census of 2051 reveals the demographic shift, the on-the-verge-of-extinction-and-homelessness Bengali Hindus try hard to stay afloat in exile. This abstract but piercing play (nonsensical play as per playwright) tries to paint a future-lore through satiristic montage of sporadic events linked to history and imagination.
