Vijay Tendulkar (1928-2008), the Marathi dramatist, is undoubtedly a great playwright, known for his versatile genius and fecundity. As a leading contemporary Indian playwright, he has produced various short-stories, children's Books, essays and novels. By dint of hard work, he is widely acclaimed as one of the most influential dramatists of India, like Girish Karnad, Badal Sircar, Aasif Currimbhoy and Mahesh Dattani. Some of his important plays are Silence! The Court is in Session (1968), Encounter in Umbugland (1969), The Vultures (1971), Sakharam Binder (1972), Ghasiram Kotwal (1972), Kamala (1982), and Kanyadan (1983).
He is often referred to as a 'contradictory and revolutionary' play-wright. His works have produced many debates and discussions regarding the subject-matter, style and his personal views. As a social realist, he presents the black side of humanity in his dramas. He projects the image of women crushed under the forces of the patriarchal system. The present paper will try to concentrate on how Tendulkar presents the plight of Indian woman in this so-called modern society. The women in Tendulkar's plays have no identity of their own; they are just puppets in the hands of their male counterparts. As a playwright, Tendulkar is immensely concerned with the exploitation and victimization of women in a patriarchal society.
