This paper focuses on the status of discriminated women – the prostitutes. Jayanta Mahapatra, one of the shapers of Indian-English Writers of Poetry, pleads for the deprived women in his poem “The Whorehouse in a Calcutta Street”. He travels into the mind of women and tries to keep pace with their thoughts. He portrays these women as lonely, sufferers, silent, inarticulate , oppressed and fragile. They are the playthings in the hands of men. Man uses her to quench his lust. She has an unfulfilled burning desire lurking beneath the unnoticed heart. She yearns for an ear to listen to the feeble cry of her soul. Jayanta Mahapatra has unwrapped the uncared attitudes of men folk towards the ostracized women. Keywords: ostracized women, discriminated women, Indian-English Writers, oppressed and fragile.
