About Group:

Ajoka, as the name suggests (Aaj ka, of today), is all about contemporaneity, about a commitment to stay relevant, meaningful, responsive to the challenges of the times. But it addresses contemporary issues through innovative, entertaining and indigenous forms and its impact is much more than a screeching newspaper headline or a news feature. This has been the story of Ajoka’s 39 years’ journey. Ajoka has remained nonpartisan in Pakistan’s turbulent and bewildering politics but it is proudly partisan on the side of secularism, social justice, human rights and peace. Its plays have addressed issues such as religious extremism, gender injustice, human rights and regional peace. Ajoka’s contribution to the cause of socially meaningful theatre has been widely recognized in Pakistan and abroad.
