- "P. V. Rajamannar is a well-known playwright. His Dayyala
- Lanka (Island of Ghosts) has been staged with great success.
- Written when he was a rising lawyer and an idealist who
- could express himself freely, the play deals with a social problem
- of great concern—the state of the young widow who sees all the
- urges of youth freely accessible to her married sister but which,
- for no justifiable reason, are denied to her. A second play of
- Rajamannar, Yemi Magavallu (Oh, These Men!) is a powerful
- condemnation of obsolete yet tenaciously clinging ideas of
- propriety and the still popular insistence on one law for the
- man and another for the woman.
- Nagu Bamu (The White Cobra) is a recent one-act play by
- him. The story takes place in the Ajanta caves during the times
- when the great Buddhist monk-artists embellished the walls with
- their wonderful frescoes. The dialogue is very effective through
- out, and the problem has a universal and almost topical appeal
- as it concerns the conflict between utter devotion to duty and the
- irresistible urge for emotional fulfilment—a problem which
- confronts each one of us today. In all his writings, Rajamannar
- follows Franz Kafka's advice: 'Test yourself on Humanity.
- It makes the doubtful doubt, the believer believe"
