La storia straordinariamente potente di Mulk Raj Anand su un intoccabile nel sistema delle caste indiano, con una nuova introduzione di Ramachandra Guha, autore di Gandhi Bakha è un giovane orgoglioso e attraente, ma nonostante ciò è un intoccabile, un emarginato nel sistema delle caste indiano. È un sistema che sta cambiando solo lentamente e che all'epoca era crudele e debilitante come quello dell'apartheid. In questa vivida ricostruzione di un giorno nella vita di Bakha, spazzino e pulitore di bagni, Anand riversa una vitalità, un fuoco e una ricchezza di dettagli che gli fanno guadagnare un posto come uno degli scrittori indiani più importanti del ventesimo secolo. "Una delle opere più eloquenti e fantasiose ad affrontare questo argomento difficile ed emotivo" Martin Seymour-Smith "Mi ha ricordato molto vividamente le occasioni in cui ho camminato "nella direzione sbagliata" in una città indiana, ed è una strada che nessun romanziere mi ha ancora portato" EM Forster.
