Assess the role of Dr. Thakkar in Tara.
Answer: Dattani
in Tara portrays the money-minded society through Dr. Thakkar. Dr. Thakkar is the
famous doctor of that period in separating conjoined twins through surgery. We
consider doctors as “God like” but we see corruption exists in their area also
and they are also money minded. Dr. Thakkar has agreed to favour boy child as
Chandan’s grandfather promises to give him a land in the main town of the city.
He used his power politics to do this injustice. But the third leg was useful to
the child only for two days which would be Tara’s.
From this we
see the ethical deterioration of medical profession. All the good values in
this world are lessening day by day. Days have come, when we have money we can
achieve anything.
