Sensibility plays an important role in literature. Basically, sensibility is the key to literary creation and reception. Literature originates from the heart and reaches the heart. A writer is rich in sensitive personality; his deeper observation and response to the socio-historical condition of his time are often reflected metaphorically in his works. He looks at an event or situation from a different perspective than the common man, examines it, understands its depth, and contemplates it in the context of its long-term consequences. Literary sensibility ignites the light in the darkness and a ray of hope in despair. Habib Tanvir portrays the contradictions of society, politics, religion, history, and culture. His plays are a sensitive response to the socio-political system of his time. As a close observer of Indian politics and politicians, he has brought out these experiences in his plays. His theatre is politically drenched to expose political hypocrisy, conspiracies, corruption, and malpractices to destroy truth in order to gain power. His plays like Hirma Ki Amar Kahani are good examples of various aspects of corrupt politics. Nepotism and the selfishness of the politicians and their lust for power is giving rise to social hatred, caste discrimination and religious riots. Police and bureaucrats have become puppets in the hands of politicians. In this way, Habib Tanvir has tried to bring the naked reality of politics in front of the society.
