Dharmavir Bharti’s Andha Yug, translated by Alok Bhalla as The Age of Blindness, is a thought-provoking play that delves into the moral and spiritual blindness of its characters. The play depicts the chaos and destruction of war. Bharati's masterful use of language and symbolism has highlighted the complexities of human nature, revealing the consequences of unchecked ambition, pride, and revenge. Set against the backdrop of the Mahabharata war, Andha Yug is a powerful allegory that critiques the destruction of human lives and ethical values in the face of war and violence. This paper tries to examine the themes of moral persistence, blindness, and the human condition in Dharamvir Bharati's verse play, Andha Yug, translated by Ashok Bhalla. As the play is written in the aftermath of India's partition, the critical analysis of the play's characters, themes, and literary style, highlights the relevance of Andha Yug in contemporary times.
