ACT I — The Seeds of Dissent
(Lights up on a university campus. A few students are planting saplings. Dr. Dev stands among them, holding a small seedling.)
Dr. Dev:
This is our revolution — silent, green, and patient. A seed knows what no economist knows: how to give without taking.
Mira:
Sir, they say the university is cutting funds to your Ecology Department. They call it “unprofitable.”
Dr. Dev:
Yes, because profit has become the only language left. But the Earth speaks another tongue. We must teach it again.
(Professor Sen enters.)
Prof. Sen:
Dev, I’ve warned you before. The trustees are not pleased. They say your “Free Nature Park” is a waste of land. They want to lease it for a biotech complex.
Dr. Dev:
Then the university is dying of its own education.
Mira:
We’ll protest, sir. Students will stand with you.
Dr. Dev:
No, Mira. We will plant, not protest. Let our roots be our resistance.
(They plant more trees as the lights dim.)
Voice of the Earth (offstage):
I have seen empires rise and forests fall. But those who plant in love shall one day govern the ruins.
ACT II — The Arrest
(Scene: The Free Nature Park, now flourishing. Birds sing. Police sirens are heard in the distance.)
Mira:
They’re coming, sir. They say we are “occupying government property.”
Dr. Dev:
Let them come. Truth does not need walls.
(Rajan, the industrialist, enters with Inspector Rana.)
Rajan:
Dr. Dev Ananthan! You are charged with obstructing national development and inciting students.
Dr. Dev:
If by “development” you mean poisoning the rivers and enslaving minds to machines, then yes, I obstruct it.
Rajan:
Your forests cannot feed a nation. We need growth, we need factories, we need markets.
Dr. Dev:
And when the last tree falls, where will your market be? You cannot sell air that no one can breathe.
Rajan:
(angrily)
Enough philosophy! Inspector, arrest them.
(Inspector Rana hesitates.)
Inspector Rana:
Sir, they are unarmed. They’re just students and a teacher.
Rajan:
Order, Inspector. The law serves the economy, not sentiment.
(Rana reluctantly arrests them. Mira holds up a handful of soil.)
Mira:
You can chain us, but can you chain this?
Voice of the Earth:
They arrest my children, but not their roots. The roots grow even under prisons.
(Lights fade.)
ACT III — The Awakening
(Scene: A prison cell. Dr. Dev and Mira sit on the floor. Outside, thunder rumbles.)
Mira:
Do you think we failed, sir?
Dr. Dev:
No, Mira. Failure belongs to those who destroy. Every revolution is born in silence before the storm.
(Inspector Rana enters quietly.)
Rana:
They’ve ordered your transfer to the capital, sir. But… I’ve read your manifesto. It changed me. I’ve seen the rivers black, the trees gone. I can’t unsee them.
Dr. Dev:
Then plant one, Inspector. Just one tree, in your name and in the name of those who will come after you.
(He gives Rana a small seed wrapped in cloth.)
Rana (softly):
You fight with seeds, and somehow it feels stronger than guns.
(He unlocks the cell door.)
Rana:
Go. I saw nothing. The world needs your kind of rebellion.
(They escape into the night. Thunder becomes rain. Outside, a group of students is waiting in the downpour, holding candles and saplings.)
Mira (to the crowd):
This is not a protest. This is resurrection! The Earth is our teacher! The universities will be her temples!
Dr. Dev:
Let education grow like forests — diverse, patient, symbiotic. Let the new revolution be green.
(Rain falls harder. Rajan appears briefly in the distance, watching as the students chant softly.)
Students (chanting):
Let Nature be free!
Let learning be life!
Let the Earth be our University!
Voice of the Earth (final):
And thus began the quietest revolution — a revolution of roots. Those who worshipped gold are forgotten. But those who planted remain forever in my memory.
(Lights fade. Curtain.)
