In the galaxy of Indian Writing in English, Vijay Tendulkar is the most influential dramatist whose dramatic art is an amalgam of various traditions. Tendulkar with his world art tried to expend the horizon of Indian theatre and prepared a fabric of abstract ideas and concrete dramatic structure to create the character. “The Vultures” focuses round the unorganised family of Hari Pitale who cheats his own brother in business. His sons Ramakant and Umakant and daughter Manik are greedy, ego-centric, cruel and wayward. They have no morality of family and personal relationship. They even make conspiracy to kill each other. Hari Pitale realizes that his family is no better than the vultures, the scavenger birds of prey. The play exhibits the violence in the family at various levels, sons against father, brothers against sister, brother against brother. Violence which is intentional takes a brutal form in due course of time. Keywords: influential dramatist, unorganized family, greedy, ego-centric, cruel, wayward, scavenger birds etc.
