View through CrossRef
In this study, we shall come to know how Mulk Raj Anand, the prolific Indian writer in English, exposed social evils in his novels and put them in front of us. This study deals with the sufferings and miseries of the downtrodden and underprivileged people inflicted on them by the high castes Hindus. This study demonstrates that Anand, though being born into a high caste Hindu family, will successfully portray the agonies of Bakha, a sweeper boy and the untouchable, who was not accepted in the high society. How Bakha must endure insults, and abusive epithets and bear physical assault if he unintentionally crosses a high caste person.
