DU’s Dramatics Societies: Politics in Plays

By

The dramatic societies of the University of Delhi are one of the factors that add to the charm of the varsity. Bollywood actors such as Amitabh Bachchan, Manoj Bajpayee, and Shah Rukh Khan as well as well as filmmakers like Satish Kaushik to Imtiaz Ali have all been a part of dramatic societies. Theater and nukkad nataks (street plays) for the longest time have been used to promote social issues. With simplistic yet appealing performances they are able to draw huge crowds. It is because of their communication ability government bodies have often collaborated with Delhi University societies to spread awareness.
Ibtida, the dramatics society of Hindu College collaborated with the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana and subsequently performed in nine districts of Rajasthan. Earlier, the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment asked the street play societies of Daulat Ram College and Miranda House to promote the Accessible India campaign. Before that, BJP Mahila Morcha roped in Anubhuti, the
dramatics society of Janki Devi Memorial College to promote their Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao campaign.
While these associations show harmony between governing bodies and DramSocs, to say that both share an amicable relationship would be far from true. Today when a culture of censorship is being forced down on educational institutes, it is the dramatics socs who are raising the loudest voices of dissent.

Plays such as Chacha Chaudhary Aur Dina Nath Ki Waapsi by Kshitij, the dramatics society of Gargi College, Sare Jahan Se Achha by Ibtida, the dramatics society of Hindu College, and Sawaal Toh Uthega by Manchtantra, the dramatics society of Sri Guru Gobind Singh College Of Commerce openly speak the government ideology. It’s not new for DramSocs to take a volatile political stand, but in the recent times, they have come under the radar of authorities.

On 17th March 2015, Delhi University Student’s Union (DUSU) sent a notice to the Principal of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Khalsa College (SGTB Khalsa College), asking the college authorities to take strict action against Ankur, the theater society of SGTB Khalsa College for performing their play ‘Welcome to the Machine’ which, according to DUSU, is anti-Hindu in nature. Welcome to the Machine revolved around the how certain parties polarize the society on communal lines for political gain. It also spoke about the growing influence of religious bodies on cultural and education institutes.

Last year too Ankur logged heads with DUSU. They had to postpone their street play competition, Pratyaksh, which was being organised on the second day of the college’s annual cultural festival, Lashkara after the police requested the college to call off the event as a precautionary measure against clashes.

Earlier this year Mukhatib 2017, the annual screenplay festival organised by Shunya-the theatre society of Ramjas College on 31st March 2017 saw four plays being censored by the authorities to avoid any type of unrest in the campus. The organisers of the event were reportedly asked for the scripts of the plays which were to be performed in the festival just before the event. This was followed by the cancellation of four plays which had elements of nationalism in them. The students replied to this attempt of the administration by sealing their lips with black tapes and tying black bands around their arms.

These recent developments clearly show that dramatics, an art form that has always been used as a revolutionary tool, has come under scrutiny. But in a county of Safdar Hashmi, it is impossible to tone down the natakwalas. Be it suspension of events, threats or backlash, varsity’s street play/theater artists will still reclaim the campus.

Winter Sightseeing in Delhi

By

With the onset of winter, the weather is finally good enough for exploring the city without worrying about the extreme heat. Here are some sites worth planning a visit to in Delhi.

Whether you’re an outstation student who hasn’t stepped out of their college area much or a lifelong Delhi resident, finding interesting places in the city is always rewarding. Winters especially let us look for such places without collapsing due to heat strokes, so it’s a good time to step out of your comfort zone (literally) and explore. Here are a few suggestions to start off with:

1. Lodhi Gardens

Unfortunately, Lodhi Gardens are either known as the space where South Delhi folks are seen power-walking or a spot for amateur photographers trying to brighten up their Instagram feeds. It is seriously underappreciated for being sunny, filled with natural beauty, and striking monuments. Go there on a sunny afternoon with a book or your earphones for some peaceful and relaxing time. It is a 30-rupee auto ride away from Lok Kalyan Marg metro station.

2. Old Delhi

Old Delhi has some of the most well-known monuments of Delhi, such as Jama Masjid and Red Fort, and is also not too far away from Rajghat. It is also filled with lanes which house renowned restaurants that are being run by same families for generations. So go out for a walk through Old Delhi, have a look at the view of the city from the tall minarets of Jama Masjid, stop for a bite of Kebabs or Rabdi Parantha, and end your day with the serenity of Rajghat.  You can reach Old Delhi via Chawri Bazar and Chandni Chowk metro station on the Yellow Line or Jama Masjid metro station that is on the Violet Line.

3. National Gallery of Modern Art

Located close to the Khan Market metro station, the National Gallery of Modern Art houses paintings, sculptures, and other works of art by artists from all over the world. It also has a gift shop that has cheap postcards featuring paintings from the museum. India Gate is also close by, with its variations of bhelpuri and numerous ice cream stalls. At its other end on Rajpath, along with the Rashtrapati Bhavan, are the North and South Blocks that seat some of the most important government ministries and have beautiful European architecture.

4. Delhi Zoo

Going to the zoo might seem drab and boring, but for one it’s something very different from going to the movies or the usual things we do. It’s relaxing, and with the right kind of company, it can be a memorable activity.  The Delhi Zoo is located near the Purana Quila, closest to the Pragati Maidan metro station.

The Story Behind No-Shave November

By

No-Shave November has become increasingly popular in the last couple of years. However, many are still unaware of the reason that led to the creation of this campaign. Here’s the story behind this unique concept.

No-Shave November appears to be a trend to grow a beard and compete with friends to see who has a larger beard. Naturally, the ones who aren’t able to grow one suffer a lot of insults and become the subject of jokes among friends. However, No-Shave November stands for something much bigger and purposeful. Let’s know what it is actually about.

It is an awareness campaign for different types of cancers, including prostate cancer. The basic idea behind the campaign is that men who support the cause won’t shave or clip their hair or beard for the entire month. The money they save from not using it up in shaving their hair should be donated to cancer patients instead. Call it bizarre or call it unique, it is definitely a creative idea to support a noble cause.

No-Shave November started in 2009 after a father in Chicago passed away due to colon cancer. He had eight sons and daughters in total who started this campaign. Over the past eight years, the campaign has gained a lot of popularity, but the real significance is lost somewhere. This campaign has a couple of unique health benefits as well. As per various reports, a beard is a natural toxin filter which keeps dust from getting into our lungs. Beards can also help in preventing blemishes.

Many people confuse this campaign with another similar campaign called “Movember”. Movember is another awareness campaign which started in Australia in 2003. However, this campaign deals with not clipping off the moustache only. It has nothing to do with the sideburns.

It is a pity that such a great cause has lost its meaning and has ended up becoming a trend of hashtags and memes. People don’t even know why they do it. The apparently “trendy” population over the internet just sees this campaign as an opportunity to look cool and stay updated with the latest style. This highlights the dumbing down of people that the internet has caused. It is important that the internet users understand what they see so that great campaigns like No-Shave November don’t fall prey to the “cooler” side of the internet.

Life of a Class Representative

By

While in school, we all had wished to become a class monitor at some point in time. But the same desire gets largely skewed at college level. Responsibilities revolving around a Class Representative are very different from that of a class monitor. In the anticipation of having the same kind of authority like they did while in school being a class monitor, some students fall into this vicious trap of becoming a class representative.

A Class Representative (CR) is the middleman between professors and students who gets dodged from side to side. From running errands for the professors to voicing students’ issues, CRs do it all.

While organising any event, it is mandatory for the class representative to go to each student to ask for the monetary contribution. There will always be a bunch of rebellious students who would not comply with the CR’s request for contribution easily and would wait till the CR has to resort to begging.

It is the CR’s legal obligation to ensure that every student of the class gets the notes provided by the seniors or else the CR is doomed to get backlashes. Some students take the notes and never bother to return them in the same condition as it was given. It always comes back to the Class representative with stains of oil and torn corners of the pages. The communication link between the professors and the students, all information regarding lectures by professors would first be passed to the Class representative. He has to go through the ordeal of ensuring that every single student is well informed about the new developments and hence always updated.

It is also the CR’s allegiance to strategise a fail-proof plan for mass bunk for the entire class.  If the plan fails, the poor soul has to tackle with an undeclared war waged against him by the students, and if it succeeds, he has to face the wrath of the professor.

However, a class representative inevitably acquires many skills while executing his/her duty which includes leadership and management. The ability to combat stress flourishes in the student in full bloom. There are also several other incentives of being a class representative. The views and actions of a class representative are very imperative. Besides seasonal criticism, a Class representative earns truckloads of love from his classmates and professors. Professors are generally very generous while rewarding internal marks to this industrious fellow.  A Class representative is that industrious creature of our college life who is very underrated and needs to be duly acknowledged.

No ‘Odd-Even’ Scheme, Delhi Government Withdraws Plans Even After Approval From NGT

By

The Delhi Government, on Saturday, has sanctioned to desist the ‘odd-even’ car rationing scheme in light of the NGT poser regarding the rationale behind the decision. The policy was earlier announced for November 13 to 17 with the intent of depurating the smog-filled air in the city. A crisis situation emerged when the levels of particulate matter (PM) 2.5 and PM 10 entered the severe category. The government declared that schools must be shut down and the people were suggested to wear N95 masks as protection against toxic Delhi smog.

While stubble burning in neighbouring states and fire-crackers have been traced as the primary contributor to the dangerous levels of air pollution in the city, yet they are not the only contributor to the distress of Delhiites. Despite several warnings of worsening air quality before winter, the municipalities turned a blind eye to pollution caused by open burning of waste, and improper disposal of construction and demolition waste. This year, the East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC) and the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) did not issue a single fine for open burning of waste. The North Delhi Municipal Corporation, meanwhile, fined only 10 people.

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) pulled up the Delhi government for failing to act for the entire year until the air quality deteriorated to the extreme levels. “You tell us what is the purpose of implementing Odd-Even again? It seems you just want to reduce vehicles from roads” the court said noting the long list of exceptions. The Central Pollution Control Board has told the Green Court that two-wheelers cause more pollution compared to four-wheelers. Questioning the end result of banning cars when millions of two-wheelers are left unregulated. The court said, “If you are removing 500 cars from roads and allowing 1,000 two-wheelers, what purpose will it serve?” The court further remarked that the exemption from the Odd-Even scheme will be granted only to the CNG vehicle and emergency services such as ambulance and fire service while, earlier, this exemption pertained to women, two-wheelers and VVIPs.
Responsively, the Delhi Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot stated that ‘the Delhi Government could not compromise on the safety of women.’ He also accepted the fact that Delhi Government did not have enough public transport alternatives to accommodate over 60 lakh two-wheeler riders.’ Though the scheme has been called off, for now, the government may appeal for a review in the Green Court on Monday, to allow the car rationing policy with the previously practised exemptions.

Recently, the Delhi government’s had also decided to allow free travel for commuters in all DTC and cluster buses between November 13 and November 17, when the odd-even scheme was proposed to be implemented. This was done in order to encourage the use of public transport. It is unclear, now, whether such a decision will be implemented even after the suspension of the odd-even policy.

Experts, however, said there was a need for a long-term plan to reduce emissions. The Environment Pollution (Prevention & Control) Authority (EPCA) has issued a ‘Comprehensive Action Plan for Air Pollution Control in Delhi & NCR’ that enlists a combination of short, medium and long-term action for each source of pollution and indicates agencies responsible for implementation. A member of the EPCA and the director-general of the Centre for Science and Environment, Sunita Narain, said if the long-term measures already identified and suggested by the EPCA are not implemented, “air quality cannot improve”.

Play Review: A Woman Alone

By

Heartbreaking and touching, A Woman Alone by Shilpi Marwaha is a bold description of marital rape and female subjugation.

If you are a feminist who enjoys impactful theatre, then Sukhmanch Theatre Group’s production A Woman Alone is the performance for you. An adaptation of an Italian play by the same name, the act is written by political activists and theatre-makers Dario Fo and Franca Rame.

The play starts with a woman dancing freely and lasciviously to peppy Bollywood songs. Initially, it looks like the protagonist is a happy, confident woman, but soon things become dark. The plot has no sequence of events as such; the story is basically a narration of the oppressed domestic life of a woman. Stuck between a toddler, an abusive husband, a perverted brother-in-law, a stalker, and a blackmailing boyfriend, Sharon (played by Shilpi Marwaha) is in the simplest of terms an oppressed woman. She describes the various facets of her trauma in the form of gossip, storytelling, and comedy.

There are many scenes that vividly document the ugly reality of issues like marital rape and domestic abuse. While these scenes can be triggering and heart wrenching, there are a few reassuring moments where Sharon displays admirable grit and strength.

Watching A Woman Alone is a rollercoaster ride that is both emotionally draining and exhilarating because of the range of emotions it incites within the viewer. The audience is left more clueless, confused, and shocked than they were at the beginning. A Woman Alone is not a play that will provide you with answers; there will be no happy ending, there will be no closure. Sharon’s struggles of being groped, humiliated, harassed, hurt, of having her agency and free will ripped away from her, of blackmail and pain will make you question the kind of world that you live in where women continue to be viewed as properties, conquests, and pieces of flesh. Shilpi Marwaha at the climax of the play is trapped between ropes laden with household objects – bottles, shirts, brooms, clothhes hangers, jugs, and containers. It is a representation of how women today are trapped in what is assumed to be their responsibility towards their households and families.

It is the tale of a woman who was crushed and defeated by society’s hatred for women, hatred of their choices, their sexuality, their desire to grow, their desire to be recognised as people and not as someone’s partner, mother, and daughter.

Shilpi Marwaha has outdone herself in this piece of art that is nothing short of a masterpiece. Her voice, her persona, and her fearless personality all make the play an iconic tale of a woman crushed by the things and people she thought loved her.

Talking to DU Beat after her performance, Marwaha said, “It is a 90-page-long script and for one hour and 10 minutes I have to continuously speak, which is very taxing, not just physically but also mentally.” However, it is evident that this hard work pays off.
Follow Sukhmanch Theatre Group on Facebook for the details of more of their stunning upcoming performances.

Death by Breath: Odd-Even is Back, from Monday

By

With air pollution reaching galloping levels in Delhi, the authorities are finally awake from their slumber and the Odd-Even rule will be implemented again from November 13, 2017.

The Arvind Kejriwal Government announced on Thursday to bring back the Odd-Even car rationing scheme for five days from November 13 to November 17, 2017 as part of a graded response plan to tackle the hazardous levels of air pollution in the Capital, with air quality worsening for the third straight day. This is the third time that Delhi will try the radical road-rationing scheme during which private cars with even and odd-numbered plates ply on alternate days.

Top officials of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), however, questioned the timing of the plan, suggesting the emergency measure may not be required any longer because weather conditions would improve from Friday, clearing the toxic haze that has engulfed Delhi since Monday night. The scheme will be in place from 8.00 a.m. to 8.00 p.m., beginning Monday. Women drivers, two-wheelers and vehicles carrying children in school uniform, in addition to VVIPs, would be exempted from its provisions, Delhi Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot said. “The exemptions will be similar to last year and there is no need for people to panic,” he told reporters, adding that CNG vehicles having valid stickers would be exempt. The Minister also added that the Delhi government would not allow cab aggregators such as Uber and Ola to resort to surge pricing during the period in Delhi. Motorists will have to pay ?2,000 if they violate provisions of the scheme, which will be enforced by teams of the Delhi police, the transport department and sub-divisional magistrates.

According to the government, vehicles of the President, the Vice-President, the Prime Minister, Governors, the Chief Justice of India, the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, Union Ministers, Leaders of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, and SPG protectees, among others, will be exempt. Embassy vehicles do not come under odd-even rules and neither do commercial vehicles bearing yellow number plates. However, the Delhi government has not given any exemption to its Ministers, including the Chief Minister. Women only vehicles, including children of age up to 12 years, travelling with them will be exempted. Vehicles driven or occupied by handicapped persons will also be exempt. Two wheelers will be exempted from the scheme like the last two phases of the odd-even rationing scheme. CNG-driven vehicles, battery or electric-operated vehicles and hybrid vehicles will not be under the ambit of this scheme. The Delhi government has directed DTC to hire 500 buses from private contractors to tackle the rush of commuters during the odd-even implementation week. Delhi Metro will also provide 100 small buses during the period.

A study by atmospheric scientists of Indian Institute of Technology Delhi and Kanpur and Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology Pune had found that 15-day road-rationing in January 2016 brought down pollution levels by just 2-3%. The Delhi government’s own assessment of the next round, in April of the same year, said the drive did little to reduce pollution or congestion.

Celebrate Xpressions’17 with Farhan Akhtar

By

Xpressions, one of the biggest management-cultural fests in India, is a three-day extravaganza which is scheduled to take place from 10th to 12th November 2017.

At the heart of any management fest lies the business events, and Xpressions 2017 offers a plethora of multi-faceted competitions to its various stakeholders. Keeping the 30 years of its legacy alive are the four prime, business simulations which XIMB hosts every year at Xpressions.

Keeping in mind the veritable business acumen required to do well in the corporate world, the business events are designed to test one’s managerial skills. Skill City, as the name suggests, encourages participants to look within and mine the soft skills required to become an excellent manager, while Kurukshetra, keeping true to its historic counterpart, is blood & suit-worthy battle in the field of business. One does not start their journey to any prestigious B-school in India the day they step on the harrowed grounds of the campus. It starts on the day the applicant aspires to step foot in a premier institute. In alignment to this ethos is Helios, a one-of-a-kind business simulation only for under-graduate participants from diverse backgrounds, honing and testing their management potential and business acumen. Spardha, the social business plan competition of XIMB, but rather creates a platform for generating ideas, concepts, policy suggestions and beyond not only for business but people who are affected by business as well.

Finally, Gladiator engages its participants through a series of challenging rounds covering an array of management skills.

The glory of these mind-boggling competitions is further enhanced by events like Case in Point – a national-level HR Case Study competition, organised by XIMAHR (the HRM association), and Parikrama – a national-level Online Scavenger Hunt, organised by XSYS (the systems association). Similarly, catering to the nuances of various verticals of the corporate world, Xpressions sees the likes of Maven (a national-level competition, organised by Constrat: the strategy association), Trade Wars (an online trading simulation, organised by XFin: the finance association), Mpower (organised by Maven, the marketing association of XIMB) and Urbaniac (a Business Model Competition, organised by HabituX: The Urban Management association).

The Model United Nations, and EnigmaX, an online treasure hunt organised exclusively for the alumni of XIMB, rounds up the business competitions organised in Xpressions.

Amongst all the case competitions, the students bring with them a multitude of talents in various cultural competitions organised on all the three days. Decibelz, the War of Bands brings with it rock music and keeps the crowd enthralled. Goonj, the solo singing competition, and Thirkan, the dance competition gets out the best in students. Aaghaz, the Nukkad Natak event which actually happens on the streets shows some real emotions, leaving the crowd moved. The Carnival De Vogue, which is the Fashion Show competition judges the team on their walk, creativity, elegance and overall performance.

These cultural and business events foster the soul of Xpressions, undoubtedly one of the biggest management & cultural fest of India; giving a platform to the leaders of tomorrow to showcase their ability to take on formidable challenges today.

This year Xpressions will be the host to a Live performance by Farhan Akhtar. Performing for the very first time in Bhubaneswar, not just XIMBians, but also the whole of Bhubaneswar awaits his performance. It will be a starry night, adding another feather to the cap of all the previous glorious Xpressions.

Registration for the fest can be done on the website https://www.ximbxpressions.com/registrations.
