Mahesh Dattani’s dramaturgy, as he himself has stated, situates characters in the “fringe-space[s]” of the society that either compel them to endure the traditional modes of existence or make them grope for alternate spaces where they can truly be.1 Such a preoccupation automatically entails a foregrounding of the politics of marginalization within the periphery of communal differences and gender ideologies. The discourse of religious majoritarianism that imbues Final Solutions (1993) is accordingly identified as a regressive trope that not only cleaves the nation-state chiefly into majority Hindus and minority Muslims but also generates an “authoritarian, militaristic and overcentralized” polity that constructs Indianness through a predominantly Hindu identity thereby otherizing the Muslim minority.2 The present article analyzes Final Solutions against the backdrop of such majoritarian politics of repression and in the process, attempts to decipher the indices of identity construction that can counteract religious bigotry.
