Chandalika Summary

Chandalika portrays strong female characters. The central character of this drama is a woman named Prakriti. The other important characters include Ananda- a monk and Prakriti’s mother.

The drama opens with the protagonist- Prakriti.
Prakriti is busy with her daily chores when Ananda- the Buddhist Monk enters and asks for some water.
Prakriti mentioned that she belongs to the lower caste hence, she can not give the monk water.
The monk explained all human beings are the same, and it does not matter if she belongs to the lower caste. The caste system is made by human society only.
Prakriti falls in love with the monk and requests her mother to bring back the monk in her life with the help of magic.
Though her mother denied it at first, she eventually gave up and called upon the monk back by magic.
But when the monk came back he was not into himself due to the magic tricks.
That makes Prakriti understand that if she loves someone, she has to set them free and can not hold them back with any tricks. Hence, she apologizes to Ananda.

Read the following extract and answer the questions that follow:
Pity would be no more
If we did not make somebody Poor;
And Mercy no more could be
If all were as happy as we.
And mutual fear brings peace,
Till the selfish loves increase:
Then Cruelty knits a snare,
And spreads his baits with care.
He sits down with holy fears,
And waters the ground with tears;
Then Humility takes its root
Underneath his foot.

Read the extract given below and answer the questions that follow:
Solomon Margolin regarded her quietly. She had had her own share of troubles. She had suffered in silence for her two brothers, even for Hans, the Nazi. She had gone through a prolonged change of life. Now her face was flushed and covered with beads of sweat. He earned more than enough to pay for a maid, yet Gretl insisted on doing all the housework herself, even the laundry. It had become a mania with her. Every day she scoured the oven. She was forever polishing the windows of their apartment on the sixteenth floor and without using a safety belt.
