This research aims at tackling some invisible issues of Indian society in Mahesh Dattani's Where There's a Will (1988) and Dance Like a Man (1989). His main themes are marginalization, invisibility and the clash between individual and society. In Where there's a will, he tackles the idea of the patriarchal egoism and 'Hitlerism' by presenting the character of Hasmukh Mehta who acts like the colonizer and controls his family during his life and even after his life through his will. In Dance like a Man, he presents forms of resistance to colonial domination and what happens when the colonized people have been pushed to the edge. In addition, he crystalizes the gap between old generation and young ones by the use of his technique of flashback and minimalism of his characters.
يهدف هذا البحث إلى تناول بعض القضايا غير المرئية للمجتمع الهندي في مسرحية ، حيث توجد الوصية (1988) والرقص مثل الرجل (1989) لماهيش داتانى. و موضوعاته الرئيسية هي التهميش والتخفى والصراع بين الفرد والمجتمع. ففي مسرحية حيث توجد الوصية ، يتناول داتانى فکرة الأنانية الأبوية و "الهتلرية" من خلال تقديم شخصية هسموخ مهتا الذي يتصرف مثل المستعمر ويسيطر على أسرته أثناء حياته وحتى بعد موته من خلال وصيته. و في مسرحية الرقص مثل الرجل ، يقدم أشکالًا من المقاومة للهيمنة الاستعمارية وما يحدث عندما يتم دفع المستعمرين إلى الضغوط الاستعمارية. بالإضافة إلى ذلک ، يبلور داتانى الفجوة بين الجيل القديم والجديد من خلال استخدام أسلوبه الادبى في الاسترجاع والتقليل من استخدام شخصياته.
