Ek Gadhe Ki Aatmakatha (Autobiography of a Donkey) is a play based on humor and satire that depicts social and political anomalies, pointing out the evils of society by using a donkey as a symbol. The play features a donkey whose special quality is that he can speak, is educated, and is wise. After being auctioned off, he ends up with Ramu Dhobi (a washerman). Because the donkey had previously lived with several intellectual masters, he used to engage in reading and writing. However, he now feels uninterested in the menial tasks assigned by Ramu Dhobi and leaves in anger. Gradually, a search begins for the donkey. Through the process of searching for him-and keeping the donkey as a symbol-the play exposes many prestigious people and institutions, along with society and politics. Slowly, the donkey becomes very famous, and in the end, out of jealousy over his fame, he is murdered. The play is filled with folk music, humor, and satire.
