| Abstract: | The novel Untouchable was published in 1935 by one of India’s leading English authors Mulk Raj Anand. The book was inspired by the novelist’s own true experience. The plot revolves around the caste system prevailing in India. The novel describes a day in the life of Bakha, a young sweeper who is untouchable because he works as a latrine cleaner. The main theme of the novel Untouchable is the evil of untouchability. It draws the readers’ attention towards the miseries faced by a particular section of the Indian society who are untouchables by birth or by their jobs. The injustice, humiliation and degradation is even visible in some parts of modern Indian society. The untouchables perform jobs that are traditionally considered as dirty and for very little pay. Untouchable is a social novel. The Hindu society in the 1930s treated the untouchables as inhumans or servants. Mahatma Gandhi said that untouchability is the sin of Hinduism. He started the fight against the malpractice of untouchability to give them equal rights. He called the untouchables as ‘Harijans’ or the people of God. |
