HALDI RAM JAROOR

MAREGA !!!

SUMMARY
This is a hypothetical play based on the backgrounds of a
small village named Chamrouli in Unnao district of Uttar
Pradesh. The story revolves around the central character
of a farmer who is surrounded by a critical economic
condition due to famine in the village. To encounter the
problem, he decides to avail loan from the bank.
On the contrary to his expectations, the corruption and
mis-management prevailing in the bank, led him to
commit suicide. The play also highlights the political
leaders gaining advantage of every possible situation
they can.
Why have we chosen this plot?

As India is an agrarian economy with 64% population

being dependent on farming, therefore, the farmer (the
feeder of entire nation) is the main source of inspiration
for this theme. Through this play, we try to bring a notice
towards the plight of farmers. We want to enlighten the
audience about such mishaps on the following aspects-
1. The pitiable condition of our farmers.
2. The drawbacks of government organizations as they
are indulged in corruption, bribery etc.
3. The poor and ill mannered govt. working system in
which the common man is suffering considerably.
4. The real faces of our corrupt political leaders chosen
by us, who try to gain benefits out of every possible
situation this even at the cost of ones life.

hue ki nahi. Hum neta to bane hi hai sirf
waada karne ke liye.
(Then supporters started shouting slogans for
netaji…)

Narrator speaks:
Toh dekha bhaiyon aapne, kis tarah humhare
bharat me kissano ka shoshan ho raha hai.
Anndaata hote hue bhi wo daane daane ke liye
mohtaaj hai. Aur kis tarah humara sarkari tantra
niskriya bana hua hai. Pata nahi kitne haldiram
jaise kissan vidarbh aur bundelkhand me mar rahe
hai, lekin humhari sarkar ke kaano me joo nahi
reng rahi hai. Humhare poorva pradhan mantri
swargiya Lal Bahadur Shastriji ka naara tha “Jai
jawaan, Jai kissan” lekin yaha par to “Pareshan
jaawan, Pareshan kissan” ka bol balla hai.
Toh mere dosto hum aapse ek prashna puchna
chahte hai ki… Kya humare desh ki yahi parampara
rahegi ki ……
” Anndaata hi anna ko tarse”
Aur
Kya har haldiram ka aant aaisa hi hoga?

Agar nahi to jaago, aage badho aur ekjhut hokar

iss samasya ka aant karo.
Issliye, hey! management ke jagruk vidyarthiyon
aur doston, aap logon se appeal hai ki iss jatil
samasya pe chintan karen aur corruption ke khilaaf
ek-jut hon, tabhi humara desh 2020 tak ek vikshit
desh ban payega..tabhi hamara Kissan hoga amar
aur mahan.!!!
To boliye humhare saath…….
“Corruption chodo ya kurshi chodo.”
“Jai hind, jai Bharat.”
