1. अजातशत्रु
A lyrical historical tragedy that traces a prince’s ruthless ascent to power—his betrayal of family ties and the overthrow of his father—and then probes the psychological and moral fallout of that act; through poetic language and symbolic scenes it examines ambition, guilt, the clash between political necessity and ethical duty, and the haunting cost of sovereignty as the protagonist confronts fate, conscience, and the possibility of redemption.
