Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Mulk Raj Anand (12 December 1905 – 28 September 2004) was an Indian writer in English, notable for his depiction of the lives of the poorer castes in traditional Indian society. One of the pioneers of Anglo-Indian fiction, he, together with R. K. Narayan, Ahmad Ali, and Raja Rao, was one of the first India-based writers in English to gain an international readership. Anand is admired for his novels and short stories, which have acquired the status of classics of modern Indian English literature; they are noted for their perceptive insight into the lives of the oppressed and for their analysis of impoverishment, exploitation, and misfortune. He became known for his protest novel “Untouchable” (1935), followed by other works on the Indian poor such as “Coolie” (1936) and “Two Leaves and a Bud” (1937). He is also noted for being among the first writers to incorporate Punjabi and Hindustani idioms into English and was a recipient of the civilian honor of the Padma Bhushan.

Answer 2

Answer:

Mulk Raj Anand's "Untouchable" throws light on the socially under-privileged people of the country. A review of the book is given below.

Explanation:

• This is a brief novel, with less than 160 pages, but it leaves you with deep thoughts.
• Set in India before independence, Untouchable is a filthy tale.
• When you read E.M. Forster's enchanting Preface, you'll understand why it is said so. The story of a boy who is aware of his position in society but cannot help but question its unfairness.
• It makes you appreciate the privileged life you lead, as well as the fact that some members of your society have yet to abandon their antiquated prejudices.
• The story describes how difficult it is to grow up, not only as an outcast but also as a girl without a mother to protect her.
• Though it is odd that Bakha did not miss his mother all that much. This makes you wonder if he was emotionally stunted, but after experiencing his complicated emotions regarding his individuality and his place in the grand scheme of things, this notion is quickly dispelled.
• In the end, the way the events transpired made it seem unreal that they all occurred on the same day.
• It concludes on a hopeful note, although there is no immediate relief from his ongoing tribulations.
