THARU, SUSIE. “Reading against the Imperial Grain: Intertextuality, Narrative Structure and<br />
Liberal Humanism in Mulk Raj A<strong>nan</strong>d’s Untouchable” Jadavpur Journal <strong>of</strong> Comparative<br />
Literature 24 (1986): 60-71.<br />
Works from Guha’s inspection <strong>of</strong> “significatory apparatus” to critique the production <strong>of</strong><br />
untouchability as ‘social problem’ under colonialism, using his three-part model <strong>of</strong> counter -<br />
insurgent history: actual record, British historiographic reatiling <strong>of</strong> it and <strong>india</strong>n nationalist<br />
absorbption <strong>of</strong> peasant rebellions into a continuous history <strong>of</strong> bourgeois freedom struggle.<br />
How does a nationalist social reformer like A<strong>nan</strong>d “become accomplice to a programme in<br />
which the oppressed, waiting for civilization to be brought to them [as a water closet],<br />
continue to be a source <strong>of</strong> cheap, but proud labour?” Apparently breaking with the<br />
traditionalist revivialism <strong>of</strong> nationalism, and locating the question <strong>of</strong> untouchability in the<br />
common person rather than elite debate, A<strong>nan</strong>d creates a Lukacs individualised-typical hero<br />
worthy <strong>of</strong> human consideration, but as a human defined by liberal values infused with<br />
imperialist ideology: he is instinctive and childlike and isolated from collective action as he<br />
approaches individualised consciousness. Bhaka’s eye is really the narrating eye <strong>of</strong> the<br />
anthropological outsider objectifying and orientalising Indian society and its primitive subgroup.<br />
Close reading and deconstructive discoure analysis.<br />
