Presented by The Cultural French network in India and NSD, the play is a collaborative effort between ENSATT and Adishakti Laboratory premiering in Chandigarh. The play, written by Nimmy Raphel and directed by Vinay Kumar, explores the tragic saga of two mythological heroes, Arjuna and Achilles. Kumar, emphasizing the futility of war, discusses the interplay between vulnerability and courage in the characters, highlighting their second thoughts about fighting due to an encounter with their feminine side. The production delves into the archetypes brought out by war, showcasing how myths hold significant importance in Indian culture as opposed to European culture. Both Arjuna and Achilles encounter non-heterosexual behavior, leading them to question the morality and brutality of warfare. The play focuses primarily on these two characters, shedding light on the impact of war on humanity and the perception of heroism. Nimmy Raphel, the writer of the play, highlights the need to re-look at our notions of heroes and the understanding of human progress. She emphasizes the role of women in war and discusses the impact of decision-making on them. Raphel stresses the importance of storytelling in initiating debates about human civilization and the responsibility of artists in shaping societal perspectives. As ‘He-Rose’ unfolds on stage, it invites audiences to contemplate the complexities of heroism and the implications of war on humanity. With a blend of Indian and European influences, the play promises to challenge traditional narratives and provoke thought on the nature of courage and vulnerability in the face of conflict. The BJP is relying on development brought in by Union Minister Nitin Gadkari in Maharashtra’s Nagpur constituency, while the Congress is banking on Vikas Thakre’s contacts. The campaign in Nagpur is set to end on Wednesday with polling on April 19. Union Minister Gadkari, pitted against Congress nominee Vikas Thakre, is banking on his development initiatives and PM Modi’s support. Thakre, a sitting MLA, is emphasizing on Congress’ guarantees and arguing for a broader definition of development. Gadkari benefits from strong organizational support, Deputy CM Fadnavis’ participation, RSS activists, and his public projects. However, he faces opposition to infrastructure development, public protests, and job opportunities concerns. Congress nominee Vikas Thakre is leveraging his rise from corporator to legislator, public image, and wide network. He faces challenges of organizational constraints and lack of a strong poll machinery compared to the BJP. Gadkari hopes for a victory based on development policies, while Thakre aims to gain support from those affected by inflation, unemployment, and farmers’ distress. The election outcome in Nagpur remains uncertain as both candidates make their final appeals to voters. New Delhi, April 17 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi is gearing up for campaign rallies in Assam and Tripura on Wednesday as the Lok Sabha elections draw near. In Assam, he will address an event in Nalbari at 11:00 a.m. followed by a rally in Tripura’s Agartala at 2:00 p.m. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh is also expected to address public rallies in Kerala today. Scheduled timings include 11:20 a.m. in Kasargod, 3:25 p.m. in Vadakara, and 4:55 p.m. in Kannur. Meanwhile, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav will hold a joint press conference in Ghaziabad at 9 a.m. before Rahul Gandhi’s visits to Karnataka for public gatherings in Mandya and Kolar. Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav is set to address a public meeting in Nagina, Uttar Pradesh at 1:10 p.m. AAP leader Sanjay Singh will also be present at the event. BSP chief Mayawati will be in Alwar, Rajasthan for an election rally. Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi will lead a roadshow in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh. Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot will support INDIA bloc’s Lok Sabha poll candidate Hanuman Beniwal in Nagaur with a public meeting. The campaign events and rallies taking place across the country signify the intensifying political competition as the Lok Sabha elections approach. Stay tuned for more updates on the election trail. Imphal, April 17 (IANS) Outer Manipur, a crucial Lok Sabha constituency in the northeastern region, faces political, ethnic, and security challenges following recent unrest. Voting will be conducted in two phases – on April 19 and April 26. The BJP is backing NPF nominee Kachui Timothy Zimik for this reserved tribal seat. In a shift from the ruling BJP, the party is supporting Naga People’s Front (NPF) candidate Zimik in Outer Manipur. The National People’s Party (NPP) has also thrown its weight behind Zimik. The main contenders for the seat are Zimik and Congress nominee Alfred Kanngam S. Arthur, both belonging to the Naga community. The constituency is witnessing low voter enthusiasm due to ongoing ethnic conflicts between different communities. The Naga-dominated areas have a significant voting population, while the Kuki-Zomi community also holds considerable influence in the region. The election process is seen as a step towards restoring peace in the region. The Indigenous Tribal Leaders Forum’s (ITLF) advisory urged the Kuki-Zomi community not to field candidates for the election, considering the challenges they face. The forum emphasized the importance of exercising the right to franchise and voting in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. No organization has officially endorsed any candidate so far. The recent ethnic violence between the Meitei and Kuki-Zomi communities has claimed several lives and displaced thousands. The riots erupted following a protest march against the Meitei community’s demand for Scheduled Tribe status. Both political arch-rivals in Manipur have come together for the Lok Sabha elections, signaling a shift in the region’s political landscape.
