Life of untouchables from "summary" of Untouchable by Mulk Raj Anand,Raj Ulk
The life of untouchables, or those of a lower class in India is a difficult one. Despite facing social and economic inequality, they remain resilient and continue to thrive in the face of adversity. This story follows their journey of overcoming struggle and finding strength in the face of injustice.- Life as an untouchable was not easy; they were discriminated against and without proper rights or privileges that made them equal to the other castes.
- Everyday life was filled with oppression at every turn, yet despite facing so much hatred, many untouchables were determined not to be bowed down and fight for justice.
- For untouchables, education had always been a double-edged sword; while literacy opened up opportunities, it also drew attention to their lowly social status.
- Many times when looking for work, untouchables were forced to take on jobs considered too menial and degrading by others.
- Despite the inequality, there still existed bonds of kinship among many different untouchable communities.
- Despite these awful circumstances, many members of this community managed to maintain their dignity.
- The inhumane treatment of members of this group served only to strengthen their resolve and will to survive another day.
