Abstract
ABSTRACT Bhai Vir Singh's didactic play Raja Lakhdata Singh (1910) is one of the earliest modern Punjabi plays. The play was written in order to make the Sikhs aware of the ills assailing the community and to help set them on a path of reform. As an early play, the text is worthy of analysis in terms of the message it tries to propagate as well as its textual form and structure. This paper pursues this line of inquiry and will also comment on the dramatic and theatrical conventions prevalent in Punjab at the time, in order to understand the formative years of modern Punjabi drama.
Bhai Vir Singh的说教剧《Raja Lakhdata Singh》(1910)是旁遮普最早的现代戏剧之一。写这部剧是为了让锡克教徒意识到攻击他们社区的弊病，并帮助他们走上改革的道路。作为一部早期的戏剧，从它试图传播的信息以及它的文本形式和结构来看，它是值得分析的。本文将沿着这条调查路线，并将对当时旁遮普盛行的戏剧和戏剧习俗进行评论，以了解现代旁遮普戏剧的形成年代。
