Step 1: What is being tested.
This is a recall question on modern Indian drama. We need to match the play with the theme it is known for.
Step 2: Background facts.
Badal Sircar wrote 'Evam Indrajit' in 1963 and it became a landmark of Indian absurd drama. Its central figure, Indrajit, cannot accept a dull and repeated life like his friends Amal, Vimal and Kamal. The writer on stage keeps searching for a story and for a meaning. The mood is of futility and anxiety, the same mood found in Beckett and Camus.
Step 3: Test every choice one by one.
Mythological conflict: no gods, kings or epic battles appear, so this fails.
Absurdist existential crisis: the play is about meaninglessness and the need to choose one's own meaning, so this fits.
Historical nationalism: there is no historical or patriotic plot, so this fails.
Folk tradition: the form is modern and urban, not a folk form, so this fails.
Step 4: Conclude.
Only the second choice matches the known theme of the play. The other three describe kinds of plays that Sircar did not write here.
Always read the options slowly and match each name with a clear fact you know about it. Names that sound close can belong to very different traditions, so do not guess from the sound of a name alone. Writing the key fact next to each name, as done above, makes the elimination quick and safe. This habit also helps in similar questions on theatre personalities, plays and groups.
Final Answer:
The theme is absurdist existential crisis, so the answer is option 2.
