In class blog ( Untouchable)

In the novel " Untouchable", we see a world in where dominant culture is active. Throughout the book, the main character Bakha faces discrimination everywhere he goes simply because he is of  a lower caste than everyone else. Throughout the book we can also see ideology come into place when Bakha talks about himself wanting to be like the English people. Bakhas emotions are what causes to lead him to false consciousness.Bakha faces conflict when he doesnt know if he should follow his religious ways of living or try to become and English man. Bakha is living in a paradigm that he is not willing to accept.
