The play "EK AUR DRONACHARYA" written by shankar shesh is based on the story of Dronacharya in Mahabharat. Taking references from the characters of mahabharat the play has been written to show that how the teacher community is helpless in the face of rampant corruption existing in the modern education system. The play juxtaposed past with present to depict how men of morality disintegrate in the face of social pressure. By way of two parallel stories, the writer showed how committed idealists are taken on by shameless violators of the law.
