Yet, unlike print and cinema, theatre remains an understudied expressive medium in cultural historiography. This talk examines how regional theatre circuits across the Deccan—spanning Marathi-speaking ‘Southern Maratha Country’ and Kannada-speaking ‘Bombay Karnataka’—negotiated linguistic formations, caste hierarchies, and political possibilities within colonial modernity.
