✦ Synopsis

Bakha is a young man, proud and even attractive, yet none the less he is an outcast in IndiaοΏ½s 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 οΏ½ and comes to an unexpected conclusion. Mulk Raj Anand poured a vitality, fire and richness of detail into his controversial work, which led him to be acclaimed as his countryοΏ½s Charles Dickens and one of the twentieth centuryοΏ½s most important Indian writers.
