The barbaric reign of the Kotwal ends with his gruesome death at the hands of an angry mob while utilizing the dance form as a theatrical means, "The mob shouts. The drums beat loud and fast. Ghashiram begins to move in a sort of dance as if dying to the beat of the drum. Falls, gets up, falls, growls like an animal. Crawls. The present paper intends to represent feministic approach in Vijay Tendulkar's Ghashiram Kotwal in the context of postcolonial gender study. In this play Tendulkar sketched a few female characters that have almost no voice at all throughout the play. His female characters are weak, marginalized and above all victims of patriarchal socio In his play Ghashiram Kotwal, he expresses his concern on the issue of power-politics. Vijay Tendulkar tries to define power through the clash of man versus man. He depicts the present society and its socio-political realism and paints truthfully all the contrivances of the game of power-politics. The play has become in itself a record of the power. Ghashiram becomes a despotic ruler. Finally, his death sentence is signed by Nana as quickly as he was given the role of a kotwal. The ending of the play is marked by violence and disturbance. Nana considers Ghashiram to be a threat to the city and thinks that his death will restore peace in the city. Hence his declaration: It is true that Ghasiram Kotwal showcases the oppression and cruelty of rulers in the pre-Independence era. But its great success till date shows the universality of its theme. When Ghasiram, in Ghasiram Kotwal, uses the power to oppress the citizens of Pune, it can be seen as a glimpse of each power drunk official in any political complex.
