Indians who have an impressive history of expressing themselves amid the artistry of "natya" gradually carved a niche in the rich timeline of theatre with the immense modernization of the traditional and classical theatre forms. Drama, which was once "larger than life" became lot more modish with the passage of time. The exaggerated approach; the very melodramatic version of the traditional Indian plays was further rationalized with the introduction of the modern and contemporary Indian drama; hence emerged a whole fresh form of Indian theatre. Indian theatre during and after India`s independence therefore gained a marked elocution whilst making the other Indian theatre forms to stand apart as examples to illustrate the rich mores of Indian ethnicity. The multilingual facet of Indian culture hence finds an expressive accent amidst the varied forms of other Indian theatres. The harmonious blend of varied language, different culture, and diverse tradition therefore further contoured Indian drama after independence and is perhaps the reason behind the huge success of the Other Indian theatres like the Bengali, Marathi, Hindi, Kannad and English to stand apart with dignity since the remote past. Regional theatres as it has been termed helped in taking Indian natya to the next level of mellowness where drama typically became the art form in exemplifying the multifarious ness of Indian tradition, ethnicity, culture, folklores and mores.

The rich fervor of the Bengali theatre then jelled well with the traditional approach of the Marathi theatre. Hindi theatre also then evolved as typically an expression to calibrate the artistic vehemence of the varied forms of the other Indian theatres whilst giving birth to a whole fresh concept of Indian drama. Although Bengali theatre evolved as a means of private entertainment back in the 19th century yet it is during the British Raj it gained an articulate expression, as it is through its artistry and innovativeness Bengali theatre then became the platform to reverberate the discomforts of British Colonialism. Leftist movement further streamlined the dynamism of Bengali theatre whilst making it a true representation of the socio economic and political scenario of independent India. It is in this era, Marathi drama also flourished to a great extent and offered a contemporary tinge to the whole concept of the other Indian theatres. With the development of the different metropolis the multi lingual and regional aspect of Indian theatre further acquired the desired status. While Bengali theatre, Marathi and Hindi theatre were flourishing it is then English theatre evolved as the emblematic theatre form to impress the elites and of course as one of the popular genres of the other Indian theatre form. The British established the three Presidency Towns like Madras, Bombay Presidency and Calcutta to echo the true tune of the English drama before India`s independence. Quite ideally therefore English theatre before India`s independence was then just a replica of the European lifestyle and mores. The change however came much later precisely with India`s independence. English theatre bit by bit then carved a niche in the rich timeline of the other Indian theatre forms. Eminent Indian theatre personalities like the K.N. Pannikar, Girish Karnad, Vijay Tendulkar, Habib Tanvir and many others contributed to the opulence of Indian drama.

Other Indian theatres in the form of regional theatres like the Bengali, Marathi, Hindi, Kannad and English plays in independent India consequently became an artistic expression of instancing Indian culture, tradition, politics, social life, history and the economic condition. The language may differ; there might be difference in the stylization of each of the regional plays yet every provincial dramas carries the rich ethnicity of India whilst offering the very term "Unity in Diversity" a marked enunciation. The study of other Indian theatre is therefore just not the chronicle of Indian drama from the ancient era to the modern times but is the blue print of the rich mores of Indian tradition.
