"Shivaji Underground in Bhimnagar Mohalla" is a play that emphasizes how Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj does not belong to any one caste, religion, community, or region. He represents the toiling masses, the oppressed, and the exploited — and above all, a complete human being who upheld humanity.
Even today, Shivaji Maharaj lives on in all those who transcend caste and religion to fight for humanity. The play reminds us that Shivaji was not a divine incarnation but a human, and understanding how this legacy seeps into society is of vital importance.
Along with commenting on Shivaji's fort Torna, the play also critiques his policies, reflecting on how the caste-based walls standing in today's social system can be broken. This play is a remarkable movement in that direction.
Over 800 performances of this play have been staged so far.
