"Final Solution" is a play by Mahesh Dattani that talks about how religious conflicts can harm society. The story is set in a city where people from different religions live. Tensions rise between two communities, and this leads to violence and a tragic incident. The play follows the lives of different characters, showing how the conflicts affect them. There's a kind Hindu woman named Savitri, a young Muslim boy named Imtiaz, and a journalist named Javed. The play highlights the misunderstandings, prejudices, and fear that contribute to the conflicts. It emphasizes the importance of understanding, unity, and tolerance among different religious groups. Through the characters' stories, Dattani tries to make us see the negative consequences of religious intolerance and the need for peaceful coexistence.

1)What is the significance of the title "Final Solutions" and what is the final solution of the play?

The title "Final Solutions" holds a profound meaning as it points toward a conclusive and ultimate resolution to a complex problem. In the context of the play, the term "final solution" refers to a comprehensive and enduring answer to the conflicts and challenges between different groups and beliefs.

The final solution of the play revolves around the idea of fostering genuine understanding, tolerance, and harmony among diverse communities and religious affiliations.

In essence, the title and the final solution within the play signify the aspiration for a lasting and comprehensive remedy that addresses the root causes of discord and strife, while emphasising the potential for cooperation, empathy, and shared progress among all parties involved.

2)What was the difference you observed in the movie and play you performed?

There is a lot of difference in the play and the play we perform because what we experience while performing the play cannot be experienced while watching or reading the play.  Why can we bond with the characters while performing a play? We feel the emotions of the characters ourselves.  We blend into the character perfectly.  Some characters in the play like Hardika who is old but shows her past, of the chorus It provides a collective voice that reflects the emotions, thoughts, and opinions of the larger community, serving as a commentary on the events taking place. When we perform a play we can easily understand all about the play.

3) Share your thoughts on understanding drama through the drama-based pedagogy or involvement in  theatrical practices.

Learning about drama through drama-based teaching or taking part in theatre activities can be super helpful. It's like jumping into stories and acting them out. This helps you understand the characters and their feelings better. Also, when you do things on stage, you learn to work with others, be creative, and see the world from different angles. It's a cool way to learn about emotions, how people interact, and how stories are told!

4) What kind of skills do you develop while undergoing the preparation process for a performance and how?

I have never participated in a play before, so I have no experience, so I feel a little scared. Why would it happen?  How will it happen?  But Alpa Ma'am gave us characters according to our skills and we had to do well in it.  Ma'am, we were very worried about our play being good, but in the end, we learned a lot through this play, which was very good to experience.

When we are getting ready for a performance,we can learn and improve several important skills:

 1. Practice: You practise a lot to get better at your performance. This helps you become more skilled and confident in what you're doing. 

2.Time Management: You need to plan your practice sessions, rehearsals, and other tasks leading up to the performance.  This helps you manage your time well.
