Discussion Question
The story “Untouchable” ends with Bakha running home to tell his father about the new invention that the poet told him about. He considers the fact that this invention that disposes of waste may end the need for sweepers and thus end untouchability. Do you think this is an ending of hope or merely the author’s statement about the futility of Bakha’s efforts to escape his class? Why?
