Based on a perspective of society, Asif Currimbhoy's The Refugee investigates the predicament of humanity and political instability.

HUMANITIES

Literature's primary purpose is "to reflect with meaning on every aspect of the contemporary human condition," as stated by Jr. Martin C. Caroll. It is unambiguous that writers represent societal processes, and creators highlight the reality of society. The current social structure can therefore be seen in the literature that is impacted by its surroundings. Asif Currimbhoy is an outspoken promoter of the viewpoint stated above. In his position as a social critic, he illustrates his skill in capturing the social reality that exists in this modern era. In addition to maintaining a strong interest in play fabrication, Asif Currimbhoy thinks that literature ought to represent society. The immense concern he has for performing arts efficacy becomes apparent in his plays. He performs plays principally with the stage in consideration. Producing "actable plays" was an impressive feat of his. "India's first authentic voice in theatre," as Faubion Bowers puts it. Currimbhoy's plays deal with a broad spectrum of topics, including those connected with acquaintances, politics, human civilization, and religion. Due to its relationship to a noteworthy historically or contemporary event or incident, every play has a hint of actuality. His area of concentration is how problems in society affect people's lives. He answers up and presents in a realistic manner a specific incident that happened in the country at hand. Asif Currimbhoy developed The Refugee (1971), Sonar Bangla (1972), and Inquilab (1970) as a component in his Bengal Trilogy. The one-act drama The Refugee, which was written as a consequence to the unrest that occurred in East Pakistan in 1971, explores both the psychological repercussions of the East Bengal refugee crisis and its effects on Indian society's social framework. The main topic of the following piece is how Currimbhoy confronted humanistic issues and humanity's sufferings against an atmosphere of unrest in politics. The inner sufferings of refugees who were uprooted from their families in order to live an unpleasant life at the hands of others has been represented by Currimbhoy through the representation of the cognitive processes of two refugees, Yassin and Sen Gupta. Furthermore, the study will look at how he tried at showing that man is the root of all human sadness and persecution.
