Mahesh Dattani is a worthy successor of Girish Karnad and various themes he has taken up for his plays are sexuality, gender discrimination, child sexual abuse and even how the HIV Positive people are treated by the society. It is essential to mention here that Dattani is a successor of Girish Karnad but he has not taken myths in his plays as Karnad often does in his plays. M.K. Naik righty said, “Karnad’s favourite subjects are Mythology and History whereas Dattani crafted his characters from real society, and mostly concentrated with middle class people, often controversial themes”.
