Ramesh Prasad Panigrahi[1] (born 12 April 1944) is an Indian Playwright, novelist, short story writer and an approved lyricist of All India Radio. He has published 23 plays in English and has contributed immensely to the field of culture studies, theatre anthropology and fine arts. Author of one hundred plays in Odia, Panigrahi is a playwright of profound socio-political concerns, addressing the fundamental issues of human life through reinterpretation of myths and folktales.
Career
editWhile operating as the vice-president of the Odia Yuva Lekhak Sammelan, Panigrahi has started the movement of mini literature and magazine movement in the 1960s and edited Ityadi showcasing a unique brand of literature that rejected mainstream values and conformism and introduced cultural liberalism synonymous with various social changes.
As a major participant of the Anaam Poetry movement, Panigrahi revolted against the poetry of bureaucratic feudalism of the Indian Administrative officers’ poetry and revolted for a dynamic subculture of the Anaam (Nameless) poets who erased their names as authors and projected their philosophy of Jagannath culture and tribal bohemianism. He revolted against feudal-centered economy and authoritarian attitudes of the bureaucratic poetry and advocated for mobile poetry-reading movements on the grand-road in Puri. Panigrahi’s followers numbered in the clear minority, but it was a definite response against Nehruvian Harrow school culture.
Panigrahi’s plays have been translated in to Bengali (Manduka Upakhyan, Durghatana Basatah, Drawing a full circle) and Hindi(waiting for the Bus).The Theatre Festivals based on Panigrahi’s oeuvre fueled arguments against caste-based segregation and the upcoming bureaucratic authoritarianism in the state.
By 1969, the Playwright moved to the tribal settlements on the highlands of undivided Koraput and Bolangir districts of Odisha and used theatre as a medium of education. His “TIE” movement affected twenty two schools and the underfed, half naked tribal students who learnt their lessons through theatrical productions. The NSD Delhi started the TIE program after 20 years in 1989. After retirement from the post of a Reader in English, Panigrahi joined a Folk Theatre Group and started leading the rural team to the International Folk Theatre Festivals at Katpadi, Tamilnadu, organized by Le Bruin. Panigrahi has devoted his time to theatre Arts more as an active social worker for the benefit of rural and tribal population of Odisha than as a table centered word manufacturer or a poet.
