Mahasweta Devi is a compulsive activist and the socio-economic issues that she engages with transform into the sites of her activism. In “Aajir” she mainly addresses the issue of exploitation and marginalization as a long continuing process embedded in Indian socio-cultural practices. The play is set in the past but it represents the present state of exploitation in spite of a number of legal reforms. Mahasweta Devi’s “Aajir” depicts the intense sense of bondage felt by Paatan, a bonded labourer who is held so by a bond signed by an ancestor. The term ‘aajir’ in Bengali language stands for one who has sold himself/herself into slavery for a paltry sum.
