Literature is always linked to the society in which it was brought up, so the writer cannot separate from his society with his problems and concerns. Therefore, literature is the mirror of society, whether it is prose or non-prose literature.
The Urdu theater is one of the most important forms of prose literature that expresses the society in which it was brought up. Theater has developed a great development in the Indian subcontinent, since its inception in the middle of the nineteenth century until the present time. The play "Inqlab ke baad" is about the personality of the cleric and his influence on society through his role in political, social and economic life.
