About the Book
Criminals and Killers is a powerful and thought-provoking lecture delivered by the renowned playwright Vijay Tendulkar at the Sahitya Akademi’s Festival of Letters in 2002 as part of the prestigious Samvatsar Lecture series. In this insightful work, Tendulkar examines the complex subject of crime, particularly murder, through a deep sociological and psychological lens.
The book presents an engaging narrative enriched with real-life anecdotes and reflective observations. Tendulkar explores the motivations behind criminal behavior and distinguishes between habitual criminals and individuals who are pushed into crime by circumstances. His analysis raises important questions about justice, morality, and society’s approach to punishment, including his critical reflections on capital punishment, which he describes as a form of collective responsibility.
Vijay Tendulkar is widely regarded as one of the pioneers of modern Indian drama. With more than fifty publications to his credit, including celebrated plays such as Shantata! Court Chalu Ahe, Sakharam Binder, Ghashiram Kotwal, Gidhade, and Kanyadan, he transformed the landscape of Indian theatre. His works often explore themes of violence, exploitation, and hypocrisy with exceptional sensitivity and realism. Tendulkar has received numerous prestigious honours, including the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award, Saraswati Samman, Padma Bhushan, and the Fellowship of the Sangeet Natak Akademi. In addition to his work in theatre, he also gained recognition as a screenplay writer for acclaimed films such as Nishant, Manthan, Samna, Akrosh, and Ardh Satya.
Published by Sahitya Akademi, this concise yet impactful book offers readers a profound reflection on crime, justice, and human behaviour, making it an important read for students of literature, sociology, criminology, and anyone interested in thought-provoking social commentary.
