India was looked upon just like a place where there is backwoods, performers, winds and oppressed by Europeans. It was much too far expelled from substances winning in society and society and the individuals living in the Indian culture. R.K.Narayan, Raja Rao, Tagore attempted, through writing, to voice the anguish and intimidation against the Indian subject in the British Rule, attempting in this way to convey a tinge of authenticity to the Indian-English writing. Yet, be it as it may, Mulk Raj Anand was somewhat not the same as them. He was significantly impacted by Gandhiji and his morals and his method for living and taking a gander at life. Anand basically extends in his books the working class while the recent endeavors to uncover the …show more content…
Anand in "Untouchable" obviously gives three answers for wipe out the issue of untouchability. They are Christianity, Gandhian way and the latter is the utilization of Mechanical Device (flush framework) to clean lavatories. "Coolie" is, similar to "Untouchable" before it, a novel of challenge. Here Anand is challenging against the entrepreneur abuse of the poor and the underprivileged individuals in the nation. Dissimilar to in 'Untouchable ', Anand does not recommend measures and solutions for tackle the issue of neediness. He just issues us photos of the affliction brought about by neediness and unemployment, leaving the perusers to draw their own particular surmisings. The challenges of assuaging the shame of untouchabilty are dreadfully mind boggling for one man alone to handle, and his novel does serve as an impetus for change. In any case, as a basic reaction to the novel 's ramifications, Anand has neglected to convincingly advocate the completion of untouchablity through the decisions introduced to the hero Bakha. His disappointment in attaining to this objective lies less in any type of idiocy of his three arrangements they are unmistakably choices be that as it may, the deficiency lies in the inferred suspicion of these decisions. Each of the three decisions evacuate the capacity of a persecuted and abused minority
In fact, the rich individuals prefer capitalism because they use their power to ensure that the poor remain oppressed, at their expense. Moreover, the book profoundly illustrates how work could lead to the dehumanization of people. I highly recommend this book to everybody who wants to understand the plight of workers in a capitalist nation. Notably, this book is relevant today, given that oppression in the workplace is yet to be eliminated. When people read this book, they get a picture of the mess created by the capitalist
“Gang Leader for a Day: A Rogue Sociologist Takes to the Streets” by Sudhir Venkatesh is a book that described the recollection of Venkatesh’s time with the Black Kings, a crack-dealing gang, in the Robert Taylor Homes. Venkatesh was a sociology student at the University of Chicago and began a project in which he conducted years of research in the urban poor of Chicago. He “ditched the questionnaire in favor of just spending time with his subjects…as he tried to learn about their lives on their terms, not his”. He wanted to discover how people, such as the crack-dealing gangs, tenant leaders, and cops in the projects buy, sell, and use drugs. Hierarchy and social structure was described in Venkatesh’s autobiography of what occurred in the Robert Taylor Homes.
There are many people in the world that have made a difference. Every person alive, that has been alive, and will be born, will have an effect on the world in one way or another. Two people that have affected the world are Mahatma Gandhi, an Indian antiwar activist, and Chris McCandless, from the true novel Into the Wild. These two may have affected the world differently, but when their actions and stories are put together, a whole is created.
Gandhi once said, “An eye-for-an-eye makes the whole world blind.” What he meant is that fighting violence with violence helped no one. During his lifetime, Gandhi fought against oppressive British rule in India, and his journey was known throughout the world. Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela both shared Gandhi’s thirst for freedom, basing their respective movements for peace on Gandhi’s. All three men fought peacefully for equality, whether it was for India’s freedom from the British empire, emancipation from apartheid laws that prohibited black Africans from being truly free, or liberation from Jim Crow laws to keep black Americans inferior to whites.
Junior’s father’s drinking problems and the lack of funds to afford decent living conditions on the reservation are prevalent issues throughout the book that provide an insight into this theme. This proves that the author has written this novel to exhibit the hardships of those in poverty are detrimental to a child’s future. First, the novel shows the hardships of poverty by showing the discrimination made against Junior. On page 86, Junior states he “remembered when I [he] used to be a human being,” (Alexie 86).

Sherman Alexie’s two stories “Absolutely True Story of a Part-Time Indian” and “Toughest Indian in the World” share a common theme of self-control under the main topic of cultural identity. In both passages, it talks about how Indians can't show too much of what they are capable of or they would or would have been punished in the past. Showing potential or not going with the flow that the whites have created can prove fatal to the Indians. So, to stay safe, Indians need a lot of self-control to keeps themselves from showing the whites their true potential.self-discipline to keeps themselves from showing the whites their true potential. One example of this would be when he talks about how his father talks about salmon a lot and says "Even after all these years, they'll smell salmon on you, the dead salmon, and that will make white people dangerous."
On March 2, 1930, Gandhi wrote a letter to the Lord viceroy, though he never gained a response.

We are going to see to what extent we can say that Macaulay’s “Minute on Indian Education” reflects British society and the western point of view at the time. In a first part, we will focus on the opposition between Orientalists and Anglicists and in a second part, we will see about the western society seen as culturally superior compared to other nations and societies.

Strongly established ideological disagreements and cultural variances have remained at the forefront of struggle dating back thousands of years, albeit the form of government and societal composition. In Gandhi 's "Hind Swaraj," Gandhi outlines his explicit and adversarial outlook surrounding the brittle relationship between the British Empire and India, along with his opinions on modernization and the methods of resistance India should engage. Firstly, the title of the text refers to Indian self-rule; meaning, the people of India should have absolute and unimpeded control of their government. It is essential to note that at the time of Gandhi 's writing, the British Empire ruled over India. Gandhi advocated for an India that is self-governed in accordance with Indian principles, values, and practices.
