- Extracts by U.R. Anantha Murthy:
“What struck me about Tughlaq’s history was that it was contemporary. The fact that here was the most idealistic, most intelligent king ever to come on throne at Delhi..and one of its greatest failures. Within 20 years tremendously capable man had gone to pieces. That was due to perhaps his idealism, shortcomings within him such as impatience, cruelty, and feeling that he had the only correct answer.” [pg. 143]
” Aspects considered by critics include: symbolism of game of chess; theme of disguise; ironic success of Aziz; dualism of the man and hero in Tughlaq; how the play relates the character of Tughlaq to philosophical questions on the nature of man.” [pg. 144]
“External action and inner drama within the man” [pg. 144]
“play is structure on opposites – ideal and the real – divine aspiration and deft intrigue” [pg. 145]
