1) Reiterates previously expressed opinions without offering any new considerations.
2) Discusses the character of Bakha (?) and the gradual shift in his perspective due to the
experiences undergone during the time frame of the novel to a probable breakthrough based
on shattering the codes of silence and submission surrounding untouchability. 3) Places great
emphasis on language, especially the spoken word and its potentialities to liberate, as a vital
component in coming to grips with the author’s implied suggestion that education is the most
powerful force available to counteract the vicious cycle of untouchability.

FISHER, M. "The Shape of Lostness: Mulk Raj Anand's Short Stories" Journal of Indian
Writing in English 2.2 (1974):1-11.
Anand's short stories exhibit variety and control of form and tone. They reinterpret old
myths by recreating new ones suitable to contemporary experience. The theme of inner
lostness has genuinely universal significance. Close reading of selected short stories establishes
comparative aspects relating to moral condition of fictive subjects.
