Mysuru, November 18, 2021: JSS College of Arts, Commerce and Science, located on Ooty Road, Mysuru, proudly hosted a captivating play titled ‘Sootradaara,’ presented by Rangayana, for its students.

The event witnessed the presence of Sri Addanda C. Cariappa, Director of Rangayana, who engaged in an interactive session with the students of JSS College following the play. During his address, he emphasized the importance of conveying the essence of the Indian Constitution to the people. Recognizing the efforts of the State and Union Governments in this regard, Cariappa stated, “As per the directives of the State Government, Rangayana is organizing the play ‘Sootradaara’ at various locations. This play revolves around the Indian Constitution and aims to educate students about the significant contributions of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar in shaping our constitution.”

Presiding over the event, Prof. B.V. Sambashivaiah, Chief Executive of JSS College, acknowledged the power of theater as an effective medium for communication. He lauded the initiative to educate people, including students, about the objectives of the constitution through this play. Prof. Sambashivaiah expressed, “The play ‘Sootradaara’ not only presents the constitutional objectives but also sheds light on the post-independent India’s situation. Through this play, we aim to create awareness among everyone about our constitution and the ideals set forth by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, emphasizing equality. It is crucial that we collectively work towards building an egalitarian society to give true meaning to such performances. Depicting the constitution’s objectives through acting is no easy task, but the Rangayana artists have done a commendable job. I hope this play receives wider recognition and platforms.”

Sri S. Ramnath, the writer of the play, emphasized the significance of conveying the excellence of our constitution to the present generation. He stated, “In today’s world, the right to freedom of expression is often misused, and the true objectives of the constitution remain misunderstood. Many people are unaware of the underlying purpose behind fundamental rights and duties. To strengthen democracy, it is imperative that everyone grasps its true essence. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar recognized this need and incorporated it into the constitution. The play ‘Sootradaara’ has been written against this backdrop.”

The event commenced with a warm welcome by Prof. H.C. Honnappa, the Principal of JSS College. Dr. B.S.
