Naatak Radio presents Munshi Premchand's acclaimed "Jurmana" adapted into a play for stage and radio by Manish Sabu.

A poor shopkeeper sells foreign cotton in defiance of Mahatma Gandhi’s swadeshi movement, earning the wrath of the Congress Party, which levies a penalty on him. In response, his dying wife rises to defend him in spectacular fashion, shocking her husband, the Congress Party, and India itself.

Jurmana was staged as a part of Naatak's TALES OF RESISTANCE in April 2026 at the Starbright Theater in Campbell. The Naatak team got together to specifically stage this radio version of the play for Naatak Radio!

Voice Actors: Vinay Gavaskar, Mona Sheth, Anitha Dixit, Jai Jhala, Shashanak Divekar, Omkar Paranjape, Vaishali Kirpekar, Nirmal Bajaj, Vihaan Rodge, Arjun Pant, M Zishan, and Upendra Yadav. Post production by Anitha Dixit and Rishabh Sabu.
