Citizenship Programme initiative- LSR Dramatics Society presents a nukkad natak

On Saturday, 3rd February 2018, students of classes 8 and 9 watched a stirring performance by 24 students of Lady Sriram College on a subject that has drawn a lot of attention recently – body shaming.

The skit was enacted with meaningful lyrics, catchy music, powerful narration and energetic dances. It told the story of a carefree girl next door. As usual she dresses for work everyday in a casual way, she loves just being herself.

Alas, the protagonist becomes a victim of repeated eve teasing and thus feels compelled to alter her appearance and personality. Soon she begins to hate herself for doing so. Here, the script brings in a value lesson- how we are quick to judge those around based on appearance and (gender based) preconceived notions
