Abstract: Tendulkars dramas are neither ethical, nor depraved in tone but may rather be seen unprincipled. His plays are like an echo that reflects the individuals interior and external world. While dealing with the social realities, he parodies two major tendencies of Indian civilization: masculine dominance and feminine weakness. Tendulkar is a problem dramatist. The essence of his dramas is the conflict between realism and delusion, life and art. In short, they are the conflicts between the personality and the humanity where state of affairs and surroundings play great roles. Silence The Court Is in Session is entitled in Marathi as Shantata Court Chalu Ahe. The present drama won the Kamaladevi Chattopadyaya Award for the best Indian play in 1970. Right from the identity of the play, the drama has the authority to develop into manifold complex levels of lively theatre. As the play progresses the ridicule and grave undertones of the title becomes precise.
