Dr. Chandrashekhar Kambar's Jokumaraswamy succeeds to identify various manifestations of patriarchy and its impact on the lives of women. In this play, Chandrashekhar Kambar, an outstanding playwright makes the women characters expose and oppose patriarchal oppression. In Jokumaraswamy, Gowda is the product of the patriarchal society which sustains the conceptual framework that maintains structures of domination. He regards women and nature as irrational beings that are present to be dominated and exploited for the needs of man. Patriarchal society sustains false notions about men and keeps them blind to their real side. By the wisdom of ages, Shari and Ningi in Jokumaraswamy examine the weakness and hypocrisy of Gowda and stand testimony to the fact that women are wiser than men. Moreover, they scrutinize the patriarchal systems of domination that oppress women and reveal the false ideologies of patriarchy. Further, these women have a strong concern for nature and claim it's intrinsic value and inherent worth. By showing the representation of patriarchy in religious practices and the fashioning of gods, Kambar points out its pit-falls and calls for a new religion that acknowledges the contribution of women and by exposing the false centrality of man, Kambar discredits the illusion of superiority. Further, he shows the shortcomings of conceptual structures and places women at the centre of discussion. Thus, this paper tries to fulfill its purpose of feminist study that insists on the need for a revolution in the 'social, sexual and economic structures' that exploit women. Jokumaraswamy drama is directed by the theatre legend B.V.Karanth with lilting music of Dr. Chandrashekar Kambar.

In the opinion of literary scholars, the “bard of Avon”, Shakespeare’s “Merry Wives of Windsor” was one of his plays that was written and staged within a very short span of time. The play has created by weaving together the hilarious situations faced in his carnal pursuits by a money minded, pretentious man who has just recreation as his main goal. This play has been adapted to suit a fictional town called ‘Terakanaambi” in the Mysore region. Very appropriately, the play has a clear intent about women empowerment and progresses by kitting together topics around love, marriage, jealousy, suspicion, revenge, differences across social classes and materialism. This play has gained the admiration among critics with their opinion being – “Setting aside the fantasy elements that are generally a part of Shakespearean plays, this play has been created by focusing more on contemporary and realistic elements”
