Synopsis
'Evam Indrajit' is a tale of a playwright who struggles painfully in vain to write a play. As he, furiously tears up his manuscripts, his inspiration appears as a woman whom the dramatist calls Manasi. She asks him to select the characters for his play from the people he knows. She suggests him to write about those people who are sitting in the audience and who appears to be quite undramatic. Now the Writer, getting inspired by the suggestion of this lady, calls out four late coming youths from the audience to come on the stage and asks their names. In response to his question, they give their names as Amal, Vimal, Kamal and Nirmal. Listening to them, Writer gets perturbed and yells at the fourth one and challenges him that his name can be anything but Nirmal. Finally, the fourth man is compelled to expose the reality and confesses that his real name is Indrajit. He does so not to invite disturbance by breaking the set rules of the society. This play is a translation of the original play written in Bengali.
