Street theatre in India is a well-established ancient art form. Despite the proliferation of modern
means of entertainment and communication, street theatre continues to flourish in India.Street
theatre as a channel of communication has for centuries been propagating reforms by
highlighting social, economic, and political issues present in the society. Unlike in the olden
days, its performance is no longer restricted to villages or small localities of the city. Today
small groups of performers including students, would stage performances to mobilize public
opinion or to help create or raise awareness over a particular issue of public importance.
