Abstract
An ‘unheard voice’ of civilizationis those who experience social, physical, and psychological abuse. The inability of society to categorize them according to any recognized gender is the cause of this abuse. As a result, they experience social exclusion. The play highlights the problems with the eunuchs' low social acceptability. Additionally, he has raised numerous concerns about the effectiveness of the police, politics, and society. One of Mahesh Dattani's plays that are among the most widely read is Seven Steps Around the Fire. After meeting Anarkali and Champa, Uma Rao, the daughter of the vice chancellor and wife of chief superintendent of police Suresh Rao, undertakes a study and inquiries into the sad state of neglected and marginalized eunuchs. The eunuchs are humiliated in addition to childbirth and marriage because of their inferior gender. We do not need them here. The play centers on the brutal burning to death of Kamala, a eunuch, by the powerful politician Mr. Sharma simply because she dared to fall in love and marry his son Subbu.
