Kālidāsa’s nāṭakas, namely the
Abhijñānaśākuntala and the Vikramorvaśīya
are undisputedly among the greatest works of Sanskrit literature. Thus it is not
surprising that there have already been many excellent literary interpretations
focusing on these works. My aim is not to augment this list, but instead I
intend to shed some light on the less-investigated political message of these
dramas. In other words, I am attempting to re-read Kālidāsa’s plays as pieces of
political theatre.
