Please touch the Untouchables
Abstract
The novel creates a sense of our responsibility towards the victims of social injustice and exploitation. Bakha’s anguish and humiliation are not of his alone, but the suffering of whole outcastes and underdogs. The world of the novel, indeed, is a microcosm of India. This article discusses the sufferings and agony of the ‘Untouchable’, which are the familiar sight in Indian society throughout the ages. The ‘Untouchables’ want only their human rights and true justice.
