Tara ia through out a tragic play and its difficult to point out only few points for its tragedy, but even then i would say that besides Tara and Chandan's physical and mental condition, though they r mentally sound, Bharti is more tragic in comparison to tara and chandan, her demented behaviour, her demonstration of so much affection to tara is just a convincing attempt. Bharti has been feeling guilty for her partiality towards Chandan from the time of their operation in Victoria hospital in Bombay where she and her father favoured the saperation of these Siamese twins and giving the kidney to chandan while it had its major blood supply from tara/s body. And that's why her statement like " love can make up for a lot' and her turning the children against Mr. Patel strike much as they have the inner sense of guilty and overloaded feelings. Besides Mr. Patel, though never appeared in despair, always thought of his children but deep inside he was stung, Dan is also trying to recover from the tragedy of being Siamese twins and loss of tara just by writing he revives tara, his own part..............
