Question

Choose the correct statement:

Statement I: Nukkad Natak is an effective tool for raising awareness about social issues because it reaches a large audience in public spaces in an engaging manner.

Statement II: Nukkad Natak is limited in its impact because it can only be performed in urban areas and requires expensive equipment to be effective.

Options

• Statement I is true, and Statement II is false.

• Statement I is false, and Statement II is true.

• Both Statements I and II are true.

• Both Statements I and II are false.

Answer 1

Statement I is true, and Statement II is false.

Explanation:

Statement I is entirely true because Nukkad Natak (street play) uses high-energy acting, loud chants, and engaging scripts to draw large crowds in public spaces, making it highly effective for raising grassroots social awareness. Statement II is completely false because street plays are not limited to cities and do not require expensive equipment. They are widely performed in rural villages and rely entirely on the actors’ voices, body movements, and simple musical instruments such as dholaks, rather than on costly sound systems or stages.
