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”.
