Yudas Mar Iskariathos Thirumeni (Malayalam)
by George Emmanuel. Published on 28 May, 2013
It is a drama (fiction) based on the story of Jesus as narrated in the New Testament as well as the
history of Christianity.The protagonist Judas, the religious reformer enters into an ideological conflict with his leader, Jesus the social reformer. (Surprisingly, Jesus does not appear in the drama). Having fed up with Jesus, Judas manipulates the business lobby to get Jesus killed. Once his opponent is gone, Judas the reformer turns into a founder of a new religion called Christianity.
The second part is about how Judas uses the name of Jesus as a Brand name to propagate his new
religion .This part is constructed with images both from the present and past history of Christianity
as a whole. This exercise necessarily involves harsh and sometimes unsavoury criticism of Christian beliefs and practices. Having found himself as the founder of the most corrupt religion Judas, the Bishop who is the secret head of the church commits suicide. The story ends with the assumption of a successor to Judas.

അസഭ്യവും നിയമവിരുദ്ധവും അപകീര്ത്തികരവുമായ പരാമര്ശങ്ങള് പാടില്ല. വ്യക്തിപരമായ അധിക്ഷേപങ്ങളും
ഉണ്ടാവരുത്. അവ സൈബര് നിയമപ്രകാരം കുറ്റകരമാണ്. അഭിപ്രായങ്ങള് എഴുതുന്നയാളുടേത് മാത്രമാണ്. ഇ-മലയാളിയുടേതല്ല
