Akkad BakkadBooks: Jadu Ka Kaaleen | a play by Mridula GargIn the sixth episode of Akkad Bakkad, a podcast by Posham Pa, listen to Puneet Kusum and Sahej Aziz as they discuss 'Jadu Ka Kaaleen', a play by Mridula Garg. This play exposes the political and administrative corruption while talking about child labor. The carpet that the children weave, is the medium of their exploitation, and also a medium of their imaginations of freedom.
