‘Andha Yug’ was originally written in 1953 by Dharamvir Bharati in Hindi. It is one of the most important plays of post independence India. It begins on the evening of the eighteenth day of the Mahabharata war and raises pertinent moral and political issues associated with the epic. Right from the beginning, it is emphasised that ‘Andha Yug’ is concerned with the age of darkness, a time when there is a decline in dharma and loss of morality and duty. ‘Andha Yug’ tries to depict the sufferings of the people involved in the war in a profound manner. This paper shall endeavour to shed light on how ‘Andha Yug’ examines blindness both literal and metaphorical. Some characters are blind by physical sight, while some turn a blind eye to all truth and morality. The characters are not only unjust and biased in turning a blind eye to all the adharma that is happening, but they also participate in unlawful events. The play questions everyone’s conduct according to dharma and no one is spared. This paper shall also attempt to examine how the play puts focus on the politics of moral persistence, and shows us why there is no honour in vengeance and the need to persist with dharma, even in the most atrocious of times.
