Abstract

The novels written by Mulkraj Anand almost invariably center on some aspect of social consciousness. The story focuses on a number of issues, the most prominent of which are destitution, joblessness, illness, selfishness, and brutality. Since he is fostering an expansion of trade and political upheaval, there will inevitably be a need for new class structures in society. The representation of the tragic social state that existed in contemporary society is given a very emotional treatment in the novel Untouchable. Untouchability, the most pervasive form of social oppression in India, was the ideal topic for him to write about. The untouchability of certain things is a highly realistic topic that would be appropriate for a naturalistic literary work. The novel “Untouchable” is an excellent vehicle for conveying the realities of Indian society as they exist even today. Literature is the only medium that can create the awareness of untouchability. As a result of the elite person coming to see the mistakes, they have made in the past toward others who are oppressed, they are prepared to accept those people as equals in all regards. After then, humanism is the only ideology that can spread throughout society.
