Abstract
This paper aims to analyse how a woman belonging to a low society is abused and how she stands for herself in Usha Ganguly's Rudali. The paper depicts specifically at how caste and poverty reflect the differences in the interaction between the high and the low sections of a society. Women belonging to lower community are depicted as continuously weeping, wailing, cursing their femininity and being responsible despite all the odds. The play written by Usha Ganguly depicts the fate of the female protagonist Sanichari, who is being harassed through harsh words and curses used by her family members due to a vague entitlement given for her name and her birth on an inauspicious day. Being cursed, abused through harsh words and completely isolated, she decides to become a Rudali (Mourner).
