Mulk Raj Anand’s work like, ‘Untouchable’ and “Coolie” are painted in the colors of social realism. These two novels are the central reality of early twentieth century Indian society. These two novels describe the sufferings of the protagonists and record the miseries they feel. These two pieces together held a special place in Indian literature. ‘Untouchable’ and ‘Coolie’ are called epics of social realism, since they have all the qualities of great epics, though in different ways. According to the ancient Greeks, the epic is a narrative poem, of greater scope and greater size, which has a divine inspiration. The impotent protagonists Bakha and Munoo sail in the same boat when it comes to personal suffering. There is a central theme ‘Untouchable’ and ‘Coolie’ similar: social exploitation, exploitation of the poor and privileged by the forces of capitalism, industrialism and colonialism. ‘Untouchable’ and ‘Coolie’ are the same when it comes to their themes. The first depicts an ‘Untouchable’ in his true colors and the second exposes the life of a ‘Coolie’, victim of the capitalist economy. Anand has direct experience of the lives of the poor and of the lower social class. He is truly the novelist pioneer because of his realism, his humanism and his social protest.
