DORA a Telugu play by Shudrka Hyderabad based on Miguel De Cervantes' Don Quixote, is adapted and directed by Swapan Mondal. As a humanist the play is concerned with the values and psyches of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, even while realizing that there is an element of the uncanny in Cervantes' characters and that their behaviour challenges and defies rational description.

Shudrka Hyderabad presents the monologue “I DON’T MOVE, I DON’T SCREAM” inspired by Lo Stupro (The Rape, 1983), adapted and translated in English by Swapan Mondal. The play draws on Rame’s traumatic personal experiences after she was kidnapped, tortured, and gang raped in 1973 by a neofascist group that was discovered to have been commissioned by several high-ranking Milanese police officials.

This is an autobiographical performance and refers to its historical links with women's strife for justice. It is a reworked theatrical text on the use of sexual violence in the recent wave of violence in different parts of India.

The book Titled "డబ్బు అమ్మబడును"is going to launch which is a collection of short stories.

It was wonderful to collaborate with you for Rubaroo's flagship event, Rubaroo with Gender 2024! We truly value your partnership and support for this event and for the years we’ve worked together to create a safe and empowering community for young people across the city.

Rubaroo with Gender takes place annually on December 10th, coinciding with International Human Rights Day. The campaign encourages everyone to contribute to ending violence against women, girls and marginalised communities, support women’s rights activists, and resist any rollback of women’s and marginalised communities rights. It also provides a platform for youth participants to showcase their own campaigns.

This year, the event was facilitated by youth as part of the Emerging Leaders Programme. It featured an open space led by Rubaroo with various self-facilitated stalls. Activities included exploring safe and unsafe spaces related to gender, self-love exercises, quizzes to challenge existing notions of gender roles, poetry recitations, dance performances, and more.
