Acting in its rudimentary forms as scolding, persuading, mocking or irritating somebody must have begun with the very birth of human beings on earth but theatre in its mature form is certainly an offshoot of an organized effort of some temperamentally sensitive social activists. It is now psychologically and linguistically proved fact that imitation is an inherent instinct present in all human beings. Objective of the present paper is to explore the experimentation and innovation in the plays of Girish Karnad for the survival of Indian theatrical traditions.
