Waseem

Georg Büchner’s ‘Woyzeck’ was written in Germany at the turn of the 19th Century.
Based on a true story, although the play was a response to fast industrialization
and subsequent militarization of that period, it remains relevant even today. Especially
because human beings are no more than human resources and land no more than site
in this world driven by profit mongering. ‘Waseem’ is therefore an attempt to understand
love, life, desire and above all, the ‘human’ through an everyday story – as everyday
and exemplary as murder and suicide. Waseem is a character characteristic of lower
middle class Indian life. His life revolves around going to work as a constable
that requires him to do what is often not only against his will but also against
human dignity. He finds respite from such alienation from two things. One is his
deep attachment to the forest, the land he belongs to, where he wanders off to discover
himself. The other is his wife, whom he loves immensely. He belongs to her. At least
so he believed. The story unfolds to tell us more about these equations.
