Safdar Hashmi is one of the most popular and richest Author who was born on April 12, 1954 in Delhi, India.
Safdar Hashmi (12 April 1954 – 2 January 1989) was a communist playwright and director, best known for his work with street theatre in India. He was also an actor, lyricist, and theorist, and he is still considered an important voice in Indian political theatre. He was an activist of the Students’ Federation of India (SFI).
Hashmi co-founded the Jana Natya Manch (People’s Theatre Front), with the acronym JANAM (“birth” in Hindi), in 1973. JANAM grew out of the Indian People’s Theatre Association (IPTA) and was associated with the Communist Party of India (Marxist), with which he was actively involved in the 1970s. When Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was accused of rigging the elections, he produced a street play, Kursi, Kursi, Kursi (Chair, Chair, Chair), as a reaction to the controversy. The play narrates the story of a king whose throne moves with him when he attempts to give it up in favour of an elected representative. The play was performed every day for a week, at the Boat Club Lawns in New Delhi, then a hub of political activity. It proved to be a turning point for JANAM.

The issue is not where the play is performed (and street theatre is only a
mode of ensuring that art is available to the people), but the principal issue
is the ‘definite and unresolvable contradiction between the bourgeois
individualist view of art and the people’s collectivist view of art’.
