About Dattani it is said, “Dattani’s plays deal with real scenarios that are tough to turn away from. They are couched in Indian urban speak. They shy away from myth and make believe to tackle reality head on, no matter what the impact of collision.” Mahesh Dattani explores the hushed up issues of society and exposes social duality. He writes for the marginalized people, who occupy the fringes of society and cannot speak for themselves. He brings out the issues pertaining to sexual abuse, religious intolerance, transgender identity, homosexuality and gender discrimination. He expresses his concern for taboo themes, one of which is the sensitive issue of child abuse. It is a ‘Silent crime’, in which the victim not only bears the pain of physical humiliation but also the anguish of suppression of her voice. He voices the mute miseries and helplessness of the victims of child abuse.
