Representing Untouchablity: A CritiCAl Study of K.v.rAghupAthi’S the Untouchable Piglet
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 8
Abstract
The Untouchable Piglet is one of the short stories of K.V Raghupathi‟s The Untouchable Piglet (2015). The short story depicts the satire in the society as how the casteism is still evident and into practice by the people. The piglet represented in the short story is considered untouchable and seen through casteist lenses so are the people of the lower caste considered to be untouchable. The author takes a daring step and he saves the piglet form the misery and he is not bothered about other people‟s reaction. Through this short story the author tries to give an implied meaning that in the creation of God everything has its own purpose and nothing can be termed to be low it is the human who created the differences. Though God created the species differently but he never saw any difference in them so should be the human with humanity. If the humanity is lost then nothing is there to hold on in this earth.
