Others views on TARA

 Others views on TARA:

        Many students have written their final paper on TARA.

        One student point out that Tara and Chandan are two sides of the same self, rather than two separates entities  and that Dan is trying to write the story of his own  childhood, has to write the story of Tara too. Chandan writes Tara's story of himself, as a mean of becoming whole. 

        One other student stressed that he attains the focuses in the family as microcosm of society in order to dramatize the way we are socialized to accept certain gendered role and to give the preference of what man is.

Sahitya Akadami Award Coition reads like this -

    "Dattani's works probes tangled attitudes in India toward Communal differences. Contemporary Consumerism and genders a brilliant contribution to Indian drama in English."

K.G. Manikrao notes that - 

"Dattani's Tara illustrates another reality: money, which is seen as more powerful than anything else. Dr. Thakkar's choice to take a bribe for completing unethical work by denying Tara's leg, which was related to her blood circulation in her body, was swayed by money. The third leg was joined to Chandan's body, but it was unable to draw blood and was soon severed. Dattani's drama teaches us that someone who has no place in society cannot be deemed exceptional. His drama intends to "reflect the malfunction of the society but to act like freak mirrors in a carnival and to project grotesque images of all that passes for normal in our world"

Dramatist's view on TARA

 Dramatist's view on TARA:

        Dattani wants to present the Indian urban family as it is. And he himself says that you can talk about the feminism. because in a way what is accepted but you can't talk about gay issues; because that not Indian; that doesn't happened here. You Cant talk about a middle class house wife feminizing about Sex with cook, actually having sexual life - that isn't Indian- that's confrontational even if it is Indian

        He had done a great service to society by pulling the taboo subjects out of from under the rug and placing them on the stage for public decision.

According to Dattani himself-

        TARA is a play about the gendered self, about Chandan coming to terms with the feminine side of him in a world that always favors what is male'. However, many people think the play to be about the heroine, Tara, the girl child.
