Tamanna was associated with the respected Prithvi Theater, Mumbai for a short while and then with the Professional Hindustani Theater, Delhi.
A Comedy “Ser Ko Sava Ser”, written and directed by him was staged at Morena in 1962. Such was its popularity that it was picked up by Radio Ceylon, which was quite the rage during those days, and was played to appreciative audiences.
In 1964, he became an approved poet with the All India Radio and wrote a number of songs and ghazalas. A collection of his songs and ghazals was published as ‘Majhi’ in 1968.
However, his biggest contribution to society had been his writing on the Dacoit problem. Not only was he instrumental in highlighting the problem but also achieved tremendous success in persuading dacoits to surrender before the police.
It all began while Tamanna was in Morena. He was approached by Hind Pocket Books to write on the dacoit problem. This was a huge honor in itsef because the publication was at its peak then and well-known writers were eager to write for it. Tamanna agreed. Thus began an interesting journey that saw him traverse the hazardous terrain of Chambal. The task was not only physically challenging but also brought him face to face with dreaded dacoits.
Among his first few encounters were those with dacoits ‘Tehsildar Singh Thakur’ and ‘Thakur Nawab Singh’, whom he interviewed in jail. Through his interactions with the duo, he realized that dacoits may be ready for surrender.
When his interview was published in the ‘Saptahik Hindustan’ in 1964 expounding the idea of surrender, no one took him seriously and he became laughing stock. However one of the Tamanna’s stories so touched the late J.P.Narayan that he agreed to negotiable surrender. J.P.was specially moved by Tamanna’s story ‘Jahan Beti Bikti Hai’.
Tamanna’s biggest success came when 511 dacoits in Morena Distirct in April 1972 agreed to give themselves up. Dreaded dacoits like Zor Singh, Machkund Singh and Jabar Singh read his works and were inspired to surrender. The path has not been easy and Tamanna has been through life threats and jeopardous rendezvous with the dreaded
tribe.
Tamanna’s writing touched every aspect of the dacoit problem. He talked about the dacoits themselves, the forgotten victims as well as the police personnel and their families who had been killed or maimed by the dacoits. He was also successful in drawing the attention of the authorities to plight these people and many benefited from Government Compensation.
