Monday, December 26, 2011 13:46 IST By Santa Banta News Network Megastar Amitabh Bachchan has remembered the late Satyadev Dubey as a "committed" and "passionate" artist, saying he played "a small but significant role in 'Deewaar' with me". More Stories Indian murder victim Satyendra Dubey (27 November 1973 – 27 November 2003) was an Indian Engineering Service (IES) officer. He was the Project Director in the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) at Koderma, Jharkhand. He was murdered in Gaya, Bihar, allegedly for his anti-corruption related actions in the Golden Quadrilateral highway construction project. Satyendra Dubey, the son of Bageshwari Dubey and Phulamati Devi, was born in the village of Shahpur, near Pratappur Sugar Factory in the Siwan district of Bihar, India. The family of seven children, five girls and two boys, subsisted on a small piece of land, and Bageshwari also held a low-paying clerical position in a nearby sugar mill. Until the age of 15, he studied at the Ganga Box Kanodiya High School in Shahpur and then joined junior college at Allahabad, about three hundred kilometers away. Satyendra was the topper of the state in 10th and 12th board exams. He gained admission to the Civil Engineering Department of IIT Kanpur in 1990 and graduated in 1994. He would subsequently complete his M. Tech (Civil Engg.) from the Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University (now Indian Institute of Technology, BHU) in 1996. After his masters, Satyendra joined the Indian Engineering Service (IES) and in July 2002, went on deputation to the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI). Dubey became the Project Director at Koderma, Jharkhand, responsible for managing a part of the Aurangabad-Barachatti section of National Highway 2 (The Grand Trunk Road). This highway was part of the Golden Quadrilateral (GQ) Corridor Project, the Prime Minister's initiative, which aimed to connect many of the country's major cities by four-lane limited-access highways totaling 14,000 km, at an overall cost more than US$10 billion. During this period, Dubey got the contractor of the project to suspend three of his engineers after exp

Priyanka Chopra tweeted: 'Merry Xmas guys...may we all be blessed with peace and contentment..n the hap Satyadev Dubey was passionate about his craft: Big B
"Sudden news of the passing away of Satyadev Dubey...a huge theatre icon...committed and passionate about his craft...Condolences!!" Amitabh posted on his Twitter page Sunday night.
Dubey had slipped into coma after suffering a massive epileptic attack and was in hospital since September. He passed away Sunday. He was 75.
"Satyadev Dubey...played a small but significant role in 'Deewaar' with me...the dock scene where he refuses to pay 'hafta'," recalled Big B.
Dubey was known for plays like "Yayati", "Hayavadana", "Badal Sarkar", "Aur Tota Bola", "Aadhe Adhure", "Khamosh! Adalat Jaari Hai" and "A Raincoat For All Occasions". Theatre guru Satyadev Dubey falls silent forever
He also planned to write a play on the Alzheimer’s disease. Both the projects now cease to be. Playwrightdirector-actor-mentor `Dubeyji’, who slipped into a coma after suffering a seizure on September 19 this year, has left the world.
Except for some involuntary actions made in a prolonged unconscious state, the theatre personality lay in an Irla hospital for the last four months. Friends and fans took turns to mind his soundless hospital presence that was devoid of all the energy that Dubey stood for – theatre-obsessed plans, charged views on the performing arts, hysteria over a workshop, reconstruction (rather rewriting) of a playwright’s creation, and a never-ending search for an idiom that cut across linguistic divides. In the death of the 75-yearold theatre veteran, Mumbai’s theatre world has lost a rebellious but generous Santa Claus who shaped many actors and mounted (that is directed and wrote) a hundred plays in a career of 50 years.
Dubeyji took great pride in India’s resource-poor experimental theatre, which did not compromise with the modern-day market forces. Right from the sixties when he trained under Ibrahim Alkazi, he showed an inclination for offbeat plays which did not find representation in the popular culture. The kind of multi-lingual plays he mounted speaks for the kind of rounded world view he appreciated – Dharmavir Bharati’s Andha Yug, Vijay Tendulkar’s Shantata Court Chalu Ahe, Mohan Rakesh’s Adhe Adhure, Badal Sarkar’s Evam Indrajit, Mahesh Elkunchwar’s Raktapushpa, Chetan Datar’s Savlya and Jean Anouilh's Antigone. Even in the plays that Dubey wrote – Sambhog Se Sanyas Tak, Inshallah, Ada Chautal, and Bramha Vishnu Mahesh, one can see signs of an infuriated artist who did not conform to the box-set proscenium codes of theatre performance. In some plays, one can see a dogged pursuit of c Satyendra Dubey
