  • The Andhra Pradesh government has banned a 100-year-old play named ‘Chintamani Padya Natakam’.
  • The play was written in 1920 by playwright Kallakuri Narayana Rao, who was also a social reformer.
  • The play is about Chintamani, a courtesan and a devotee of Lord Krishna, who finds salvation by singing bhajans.
  • The original play had a social message, but over the years, it has been modified purely for entertainment.
  • The Arya Vysya community has been petitioning governments for several years to ban the play, saying it portrays them in a negative light.
