  • Abstract:
  • This paper examines the postcolonial analysis of Girish Karnad's 'Hayavadana,' highlighting Karnad's significant role in the decolonization of Indian English drama. The incorporation of folk tales, myths, history, and legends in the play creates a rich tapestry of Indian culture, which is reflected throughout the narrative. The play adeptly integrates elements of both Brechtian theatre and traditional Indian theatre. The theme of acquiring and redefining identity as a postcolonial subject is prominently explored.
