Girish Karnad’s dramatic works explore various aspects of human character in the light of history and culture. The Dreams of Tipu Sultan and Broken Images are two important plays by Karnad where he explores the human unconscious in relation to the Indian history , culture and society . Karnad ’s treatment of the human unconscious in his play The Dreams of Tipu Sultan includes his direct effort to revitalize the other possibilities of some historical incidents which, if had taken place, could have changed the course of Indian history . Here Karnad portrays the inner psyche or the unconscious of th e subject Tipu Sultan through the latter’s dreams. My paper intends to make an analytical study of Tipu’s psychology as revealed through his dreams and tries to show how Tipu ’s unconscious is being portrayed by the playwright to locate the other side of th e Indian psychology that has never got a scope to reveal itself in history . Broken Images is a different kind of a play that also deals with the unconscious revelations of an individual. In this play , instead of using a historical background, Karnad uses l iterature and family for developing the situation and instead of dreams he uses the plasma screen as a mirror to reveal the other self of the individual that seems to be a part of the unconscious mind. My paper intends to reveal various aspects of this unc onscious mind as being depicted in this play . My paper also intends to relate these two plays (The Dreams of Tipu Sultan and Broken Images ) in the Page 8  Labyrinth : ISSN 0976-0814 (Vol.8 - No.1, January 2017) sense that how these unconscious revelations form a part of the same Indian culture that the characters(speci fically Tipu and Manjula) of both the plays share
