UNTOUCHABLE

Mulk Raj Anand’s debut novel, Untouchable (1935) has been called ‘‘one of the most eloquent and imaginative works to deal with this difficult and emotive subject’’. His finest and most controversial novel, Untouchable describes the experiences and humiliations of an eighteen-year old sweeper-boy Bakha in Undivided India. Anand has employed the techniques of stream-of-consciousness and interior monologue in recording Bakha’s thoughts and feelings in a caste-ridden society. Together with Coolie, Untouchable places Anand in the forefront of Indian writers in English.
