Description: The main propose of this paper to look at censorship in Indian theatre, which has been mainly of three kinds: The first and the most obvious is censorship by the state, The second 15 censorship Imposed by political groups with or without the connivance of the state. And both these forms of censorship lead to a third and most ignored form of censorship ,i.e., self censorship, or censorship imposed by theatre practitioners upon themselves. This paper is divided into two parts, the first an empirical chronicle of slate censorship starting with brief history of the Dramatic Performances Act of 1876, and the second, different in tone and content, is a reflection upon our own dark times.
