Detailed explanation-1: -Mulk Raj Anand (12 December 1905 – 28 September 2004) was an Indian writer in English, recognised for his depiction of the lives of the poorer castes in traditional Indian society.
Detailed explanation-2: -When Mulk Raj Anand, regarded as the founding father of the Indian English novel, passed away last week, the 99-year-old writer left behind a rich legacy of ideas and thoughts that sum up his prolific life and works.
Detailed explanation-3: -That novel turned out to be his seminal debut book, Untouchable (1935), about the struggles and humiliations faced by a toilet cleaner named Bakha. After the rather humiliating taunt about what would come to be his first novel, Anand travelled to Ireland and met poets, George Russell and W.B. Yeats.
