Question



In which play we find an interesting description of the plight of a poor fishermen in Gupta period?

A.

Harshcharit

B.

Abhigyan Shakuntalam

C.

Mudarakshasa

D.

Mrichhakatikam

Correct option is B


Abhijnana Shakuntalam, written by the famous Sanskrit playwright Kalidasa during the Gupta period, is a classical drama that narrates the love story between King Dushyanta and Shakuntala. Amid this tale of romance and devotion, the play also includes a poignant depiction of the struggles of a poor fisherman, adding a realistic touch to the otherwise idealistic narrative.
· Harshcharit: Written by Banabhatta, it is a biography of Harsha and does not describe the plight of fishermen.
· Mudrarakshasa: A political drama by Vishakhadatta, focusing on the Mauryan Empire, with no reference to fishermen.
· Mrichhakatikam: A drama by Shudraka focusing on the love story of Charudatta and Vasantasena, though it portrays the lives of ordinary people, it does not describe fishermen.
