Arindam, a popular theatre group of Chuadanga, staged “Khudiram Kotha” at Kushtia Shilpakala Academy auditorium on Monday night.
The play was held on the fourth day of the 10-day theatre festival on the Liberation War. The festival kicked off on March 16.
“Khudiram Kotha” is a short play on the life of Khudiram Bose, one of the youngest revolutionaries early in the Indian independence movement.
The play portrayed the brave Khudiram as an exceptional hero, who threw the first bomb on the British who were denying Indians their birthright of freedom. The play also reveals how discontent and anger compelled Khudiram to get involved in revolutionary activities against the British rule.
The revolutionary was arrested on the charges of the bomb attack and was sentenced to death on August 11, 1908.
Kushtia Shilpakala Academy organised the festival on the occasion of Independence Day.
The festival will run till March 25.
