Under a Banyan Tree

Under a Banyan tree In a loud voice she is shedding the tears of guilt she is weeping before the crowd The Chairman declared his verdict That she is the convict and has to pay fine for her guilt against her chastity None has taken her side: who can deliver her justice, to feed her two-month old hungry child she bartered her chastity Fifty rupees fine and barred from the chaste society Penniless she cried, none to share her sorrow The gracious chairman who fined her, paid her fine and gave the warning not to stoop so low With loud claps for him the gathering melted, the helping hands of the chairman pulled her crumpled hips to his bed room to thrust on her the crime again!!
