In that case, it could be that Karnad has unwittingly chosen to do what he does!

It was a mild shock to watch Hindi movie Dor, produced and directed by Nagesh Kokunoor. Particularly concerning was the characterization of Girish Karnad's role, in which he had played a drunken yet proud Suryavanshi (specified!) Rajput, who is ready to sell his widowed daugher-in-law for the sake of his haveli. Characterization as rajput were purely unnecessary and dragged into the script out of artificial compulsions. There were many other such loaded instances in the movie too. Adding two and two, about Karnad, things appear more clearly.
