Logical Straddles between the Real and the Tech-Simulated World: A Critical Study of Girish Karnad’s Wedding Album

Abstract

Girish Karnad's Wedding Album is a modern myth, which incorporates both actual and tech-simulated universes. It is hoped that the Indian wedding would unite the community in unity and shared interest. Yet the collision of fears and resentments that have been hidden inside the family's bosom is well established. The main theme of the game is its counselling of sexual, conjugal, caste, class and aging behaviours, egotistical and sacrificial attitudes and behaviours, chastity and trade, and obedience and authority, all of which are integral to the modern Hindu marriage. Karnad represents a fusion of cultures and his systematic studies are much more comprehensive than those of some of his peers and undoubtedly are far more effective.
