This is an English translation of Sahitya Akademi Award-winning Rajasthani plays titled, Dharamjudh and Jethwa-Oojlee. Set against the traditional backdrop of Rajasthan, these two plays find their roots in the rich oral tradition of the state. Both plays, despite having traditional plots, present a contemporary appeal through their exceptional narrative structure. In Dharmayudh the strong female protagonist Padma emerges as a woman who defies patriarchy. This play reveals how on the pretext of dharma, caste qnd gender, the oppressors exploited the marginalized section of the society. Jetwa-Oohjhlee, on the other hand, is a tale of eternal love between a prince and a commoner.
