Humanism in Mulk Raj Anand’s Novel “Untouchable”

Abstract

With the introduction and spread of English education in India after 1835, many Indians began    to write in English. A considerable body of material in English has accumulated, and at least a few Indians writing in English have become  masters of style and their chosen form.  The novel and short-story , both of which have been borrowed from west, are popular means of  expression in India. From the beginning, many writers of fiction have been greatly concerned with social, economic and political problems and have produced works, designed to call attention to the need for reform.
