About the Play: A boy named Hanuma was working in the house of the king(Dhani) of the town. One day when he was walking in the forest path, two frogs grabbed his legs. He told the frogs that he would bring something and asked them to let go of his leg. While leaving there, a girl called Hanuma and they both met and talked. The girl speaks tauntingly to the king. One king called Hanuman and asked him to do work and said that he would give something in return, but the king broke his promise by not giving anything for the work done by Hanuma. Then when Hanuma went to the girl and asked what to do, the girl gave him a tamate (instrument). Hanuma went to the king and threatened that "If you don't give me anything in return for my work, I will tell the whole town about you", but seeing the king's response, Hanuma by beating the tamate, spread the news to the whole town. Here Tamate represents the current media. The politicians of the present time are elected by the people and instead of working for the welfare of the society,people they fill their coffers. Meanwhile, we, the citizens of this country, should make use of the media in our hands and raise our voice against the ongoing injustice.
