Detailed explanation-1: -Prominent among his novels are The Village (1939), Across the Black Waters (1939), The Sword and the Sickle (1942), all written in England; Coolie (1936) and The Private Life of an Indian Prince (1953) are perhaps the most important of his works written in India.
Detailed explanation-2: -That novel turned out to be his seminal debut book, Untouchable (1935), about the struggles and humiliations faced by a toilet cleaner named Bakha.
