Chandalika by Alokananda Roy 

Tagore’s social sensitivity sets the plot of the dance drama Chandalika (The girl born to a crematory worker). The plight and discrimination of a low caste untouchable girl’s evolves into a protest against the social injustice. Only sensed and understood by a Buddhist monk Ananda, who accepts her the way she is without any judgements. Prakriti falls in love with the monk and desires to have the monk as a life-partner. She urges her mother to cast a spell of black magic on him and get him attracted to her. Ananda is tormented by the spell but does not give into the lure. Instead, forgives Prakiti and her mother.
