1 paragraph on untouchable

In the novel Untouchable, we see a world where everything in society is divided based on a caste system.  Society followed a strict ideology that decided what class you would fall into from birth and for the rest of your life. Over the course of the novel, there is internal strife seen in Bakha, a young Hindu male, as he progresses through his day as a lower classman. His desire to be like the “sahibs”, the white men, and the constant reminders that he is of the lower class in society dares him to question his fate and why he has to live such a horrible life. Based on Bahka's behavior we can insinuate that he uses the desire to live as a sahib, as a form of escape or sanctuary to help him escape the idea of having to live his entire life as an untouchable. The main character of the novel Bakha has lived his life as an untouchable, the lowest of ranks in the Hindu Caste system. Bakha’s false consciousness is apparent in the novel when he is confronted by an upper class male in town because he accidentally touched him.  He is immediately  confused and conflicted because he has broken a taboo in society by touching an upper classman and he begins to question why he was born in this caste and why he has to suffer when he has done nothing wrong. Bakha unconsciously chooses to be colonized by the sahibs to escape his fate as an untouchable.
