Mulk Raj Anand's celebrated novel Untouchable deals with the social curse of untouchability in Pre-Independence India. It narrates the sufferings and humiliations of an 18-year-old boy, Bakha, born in a low-caste and serving as a toilet-sweeper. Operating at different levels of the society and causing wide-spread unease, Bakha exposes as well as critiques the hypocritical status quo in the Indian society.
