Penned by Dr Surinder Sharma, Samajdaar Log is a story of three inmates of a mental asylum and their views on the country’s social, political and economic affairs. The three unnamed crazy men kept themselves occupied by discussing everything there was under the sun and role-playing as different characters from the outside world. Things, however, take an interesting turn when the authorities dump a fourth inmate in their cell. Admittedly, an educated man, the new inmate starts interacting with the three, as a self-proclaimed triple Master of Arts. Soon their topics of discussion start meandering around a number of burning issues, such as, the role of religion in Indian politics, poverty, oppression of the working class in the hands of those in power, and lack of employment among others. What happens when they organise a mock election to choose a leader, forms the crux of this socio-political satire.
