Bhimnidhi Tiwari (1911-1973) is a well-known poet, story writer and dramatist from Nepal. An ardent social reformer, Tiwari established Nepal Natak Sangh (Nepal Drama Society) in 1949. Through this organization, he promoted the Nepali plays by staging plays and encouraging the Nepali writers to write plays. In order to sustain this organization, he also wrote plays like Matoko Maya, Shilanyas and Sahansheela Sushila, among others. Tiwari won Madan Puraskar for literature in 1970.
In his one-act play “The Bull,” Bhimnidhi Tiwari dramatizes an incident related to King Ranabahadur Shah’s craze for bulls [for King Ranabahadur Shah (reigned from 1777 to 1799) is known to have been fond of bulls] to make a biting satire on the feudal system of the time, which dehumanizes human beings to such an extent that their existence depends on their deferential treatment towards the four-footed animals like bulls.
