Untouchable
Author: Mulk Raj Anand
Bakha is a young man, proud and even attractive, yet none the less he is an outcast in Indias caste system: an Untouchable. In deceptively simple prose this groundbreaking novel describes a day in the life of Bakha, sweeper and toilet-cleaner, as he searches for a meaning to the tragic existence he has been born into - and comes to an unexpected conclusion.
