Critique of casteist ideology in Anand's untouchable and Roy's the god of small things
(2015) Mijar, Dhana Bahadur; Badri Prasad Acharya
Both Mulk Raj Anand's Untouchable and Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things show the severe casteist discrimination of Indian society by representing the caste subaltern characters Bakha and Velutha respectively. In the former Anand represent Bakha as a servile and submissive character, whereas in the latter Velutha has been represented as a brave and sacrificial character. However, both of them become the victims of superstitious human psychology based on the state-protected Hindu ideology. Being a Marxist writer from the early twentieth century Anand talks about casteism in relation to classism while being a leftist writer in the late twentieth century Roy analyzes casteism in relation to ethnicity, gender, geographical location and psychology. Therefore, Bakha lives without dignity, cannot speak on his own, whereas, Velutha dies with dignity, revolts against the stereotypical traditional behavior and practices as Roy attempts to represent postmodern and post-colonial human psychology. Baby Kochamma is an antagonist who files FIR in police station by posing Velutha, a blame of abducting and murdering her niece Sophie Mol, who, indeed, dies by drowning in the river in boat accident. Roy portrays Velutha as a rebel who transgresses conventional values by having sexual relationship with Ammu, 'upper caste', divorcee of Baba. In this way, Bakha in Untouchable cannot speak, whereas Velutha in The God of Small Things can speak.
