Description :This article based on field-work and personal exposure, howsoever limited by language barriers. He significance of these studies for Indian readers is therefore very limited, and unless read with caution and some previous self-preparation, they can be quite misleading. Western scholars are interested mainly in our past and not the present; that they are keen to identify and highlight the exotic elements in our theatre traditions which may possibly be a kind of raw material for their own finished products, besides perpetuating the stereotype image of India that they are unwilling to accept that our modern work is significant as a creative endeavour deeply concerned with the human condition today.
