Cultural and social developments have affected the form and functions of
drama in profound ways over the centuries and Western observers often believe that the ancient Greeks had a monopoly on drama. This
paper looks at how Kalidasa's "The Recognition of Sakuntala" shows that the Greeks had some distinguished company in the great works of Indian literature in this genre. To identify these similarities, this paper provides a comparison of how courtly love is portrayed in Kalidasa's "The Recognition of Sakuntala" and Baldesar Castiglione's "The Book of the Courtier", followed by a summary of the research in the conclusion.
