Mulk Raj Anand stands in the front line of Indian Writing in English.

His depiction of character is life like and he is the perfectionist ii the representation of his characters. He is undoubtedly the greatest artist of Indian Writing in English. His great works represent to us the lives of India's poor in a realistic and sympathetic manner. Mulk Raj Anand's debut novel Untouchable the great blend in literature. Untouchable novel depicts the events of a single day in the life of Bakha.. Bakha, throughout the novel faced the discrimination in the caste- based so called society. He belongs to the sweeper community. He has a great physique and muscles. "Each muscle of body, had as a rock when it came to play, seemed to shine forth like glass. What a dexterous workman! The on looker would have said. And though his job was dirty, he remained comparatively clean" (Untouchable) He has to clean toilets and bring about sanitation at the cost of his hygiene. Every now and then he is disparaged and called "defiled and polluted". He is only a beast of burden in his eyes of the highly prejudiced so called society. His sister has also to work in the houses of the touchables for chores and returns humiliated. In utter desperation and exasperation, he tells his father "They think we are dirt because we clean their dirt"(Untouchable). The so called society is not even considerate to him if he offers a helping hand to it. On the occasion, Bakha is playing hockey. A little boy is injured and as Bakha lifts the boy up, boy's caste-ridden mother screams "Polluted, polluted"

(Untouchable) There are many occasions in the novel which reveal the harsh and painful realities in the society. On such occasion is when the untouchables are victimized, and shattered into pieces. The "Well Incident", "Temple Incident", "bazar incident" and many other incidents describe how these ill-feted people are exploited by the so called highclass touchables. The cruelty doesn't happen only with him but his sister also faces the same thing just because being an untouchable. So, here we can see the untouchables, being weak, have no justice. The priest in the novel pollutes his postion, who is supposed to preach the gospel of truth, humanity, morality, and sanctity. But, he turns out to be a victimizer, a tyrant. On many occasion Bakha and his family are subjected to inhumane treatment. The 'Bazar Incident' is also very touching and pathetic. He has to face insult through out the novel , it's just because of his untouchability. His only crime is that he touches people from the caste Hindu. For it, he is ill-treated by the so called touchables in the words- 'swine dog' , 'dirty dog' , 'you brute'. Bakha is unable to do anything despite to listen and bend down his head, mumbling something. As the same, 'TempleIncident' is also painful and arises our sympathy for the sufferer. Bakha is also a common being like many others in the society but his feelings are repressed by this so called touchable society. He is one of many unlucky ones whose life is painful and undergo humiliation just because of their being untouchables in the society. These untouchables find them self no where

in the society and spend life full of pain even today in this world. "Though the Indian constitution has made it a crime to practice untouchability, there are still 60 million people in India who are discriminated" (Saroj Cowasjee). We can find a great clash between the established caste system in the various novel of Anand, which is always the main theme in his works. His main themes are deeply rooted in the social conditions of his time. Indian caste-based society is the major concern, and his characters, represent the most pattern of Indian society. He represents a society charged with the evils of untouchability, caste discrimination, and social injustice. Anand is a great writer having a sympathetical angle for the untouchables, the outcastes in the society. He is the greatest realist, whose realism distinguishes him any wrong bias, and has the ability to take a balanced view of man and society. Anand voices the most fundamental sentiments of a man whose life is a strange amalgam of helplessness, anger, protest, despair and anxiety. The typical Indian lives and life on many layers each of which is inextricably linked up with others. The caste system is one such layer and it is a very vital thing for him. He can not help it, so ingrained it is in him, and yet he is a victim of it. Mulk Raj Anand's realism lies in the depiction of a society in which the caste factor operates so easily and naturally, conditions everything so effortlessly, that often it ceases

to be an issue even; it simply remains as backwater. In his realistic portrayal of the novel Untouchable, caste. Despite of that Anand's novels considered as the blend to change the social system so that the untouchables can enjoy the equal freedom in the society. Anand dreamt for our strong, united, prosperous and peaceful nation. Through his great works he has presented to us the painful realistic picture of our so called Indian society in a great manner, now he has left on us to think how we can change the prevailing system, and how can we make our nation more prgressive.
