Volume : III, Issue : I, February - 2013 FROM CHANDALIKA TO PRAKRITI: EMANCIPATION AND LIBERATION OF A DALIT WOMAN TAPASHREE GHOSH DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : For ages dalits have been victims of violence and oppression. Conditions of
dalit women who are doubly marginalized are further worse. Caste based hierarchy still
exists in India. The present paper analyses Tagore's dance drama Chandalika to trace
Prakriti's journey from a Chandal girl to a woman aware of her worth and identity. At the
end of the dance drama she no longer remains a Chandalika but arises above the
confines of class, caste to arrive at a true understanding of her-self and the world. To
map this personal odyssey the play may be subtitled “From Chandalika to Prakriti”. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : TAPASHREE GHOSH, (2013).
