AB  - Discusses Habib Tanvir’s adaptation of Midsummer Night’s Dream, Kamdev Ka Apna Basant Ritu Ka Sapna [The Love God’s Own, A Springtime Dream] (q.v.). Explores its approach to class and language hierarchies, exploring characters' use of English (associated with elites), Hindi/Urdu/Hindustani (official language) and local Chattisgarhi dialect (used by working-class mechanicals). Argues Tanvir "taps into the subversive potential of Dream in order to bring to the fore and question the inequalities present in post-Independence India." English summary, online.
