Abstract:

Untouchability is an evil social menace, where certain group of people are discriminated or alienated based on their caste, class or job from the mainstream sections of the society. Untouchables are the most oppressed and marginalized people, who often lack right and voice in the public domain. Manual scavenging is considered or treated as a job attributed to the untouchables of lowest strata of the society. These people are not given any dignity due to their job of carrying human waste using their bare hands. Mulk Raj Anand presents the sufferings and hardships of an untouchable boy named Bak

Abstract:

In India the complex social structure demands that it be divided into heterogeneous classes. This division produces class discrimination as well as caste discrimination. The latter has been institutionalized in the name of religion; and the upper castes, using religious dogma, assume hegemonial power to exploit the lower castes to suppress them economically, socially, and politically. Mulk Raj Anand has shown the pathetic condition of the outcaste/ untouchable in colonial India where the whole of India is subjugated to their colonizers, and because of the division and subdivision, the lower ca

The adaption of a particular “nature” of one group of people by way of sexism, culturalization, and ethnification is strongly linked to the idea of essentialism.

I argue that in the efforts towards shaping of a more inclusive and ‘equitable’ public education, the struggles of the most excluded and stigmatis

Abstract:

Great novelist Mulk Raj Anand has addressed socioeconomic issues in his writing. His passion is portraying contemporary India, complete with its corruption, untouchability, starvation, poverty, superstitions, labor troubles, and economic anxieties. The novel Untouchability focused on the underprivileged segment of Indian society that was deemed “Achhut” untouchable, meaning that upper-class individuals “Swarna Varga” were not allowed to touch them. Through the characters of Bakha, a sweeper, Lakha, the chief of the sweepers in the area, Solini, a Dalit girl, Charat Singh, a charitable man, and

Abstract:

Cet article vise à examiner le jeu subtil qui s’établit entre «identité» et «altérité» dans The Untouchable de John Banville (1997), avec pour toile de fond les récentes interrogations de Derrida sur la «question de l’étranger» dans Of Hospitality (2000). En particulier, mon analyse montre la manière dont le texte aborde la multiplicité des significations de l’expression «la question de l’étranger», dans le but de mettre en évidence dans le récit des moments cruciaux qui posent la question des échanges complexes entre hôte et invité. En présentant un personnage qui est un exlus à l’intérieur d
