Dr. Kalam's father and his philosophy in Wings of Fire

    Dr Kalam's father was a highly religious man his name was  Jinalabuddin.  He was neither highly educated nor reach.  He  has evolved any system of philosophy.

Conclusion of the play TARA

 Conclusion of the TARA

        In short Dattani's TARA presents the real scrape of Indian Society, Dattani make the TARA an instrument to presents the Invisible issues of the Indian society. The approach of TARA is Completely new and different from the other play of other Dramatist. The play is the predicament on the modern life and Society, There are some ultra-modern themes also, But the Whole play is disturbed. It runs backwards as well as forward. We don't find an ideal plot construction in the whole play. The Plot of the play is very loose and scattered. Infect TARA has  no Central theme. There are many stories woven together. Dattani Want to present each and every aspect of the Indian society, so There are many stories going in the different directions. Because If the use the Stream of consciousness Techniques in the play it Became more complex.

        In short TARA is not easy to understand every common Audience or the reader. It requires a clever or intelligent reader Or audience to grasp the full meaning of the play. It is a really Very complex play.

Fulfillment of the dramatist's aim in TARA

Fulfillment of the dramatist's aim:

        Trough the play TARA, Dattani want to presents the each and every aspect of the Indian society as it is. Actually, Dattani's family is a Gujarati. So, he had seen many institution of Gujarati culture; and than has family moved to Bangalore to from the Gujarat. There he had seen the institution if urban society.

        The social aspect of the Indian society, Prejudices imposed by the society, problem of the Genderbias, hypocrisy of pretension, power of money, the follies of medical profession, the issue of provincialism, emotion of twin to each other all are well depicted in the play and they also came under the microscope of Dattani's rationalism. In TARA Dattani had justified all these issues through the various characters of the play.

        In short, Dattani's TARA Became a successful instrument for the presenting the photographic picture of the society. And Dattani has got a unique achievement in presenting the social problem of the Indian society.

The setting of the play - TARA

 The setting of the play

        The setting of the pay is not at a functional place, but at the real and familiar place Bangalore and London. 

        The characters Dan - the older Chandan, Tara, Chandan, Mr. Patel, Bharati, Roopa, Dr. Thakkar, are not only like the characters of the play; but the real persons among us. They all are the representatives of our society. TARA is not entirely the work of fictional. But it represents the actual condition of the society. In short Dattani's TARA has a surer footing of reality.

        He has presented two places at the same time by using the stream of consciousness technique of Dan. His this play presents the contemporary society of India.

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.
