According to Dr. C. Paul, the Indians of the Regional Literature are taken for granted, and no one is having trouble exploring it. It is assumed that there is "no clash between the culture and the languages which Express it" (Varghese 3). But why bother with Indian writing in English is considered to be influenced by English to express Indian culture because you have tried it because it is a language on Indian soil. In the words of Professor B. Raja, “The inwardness of Indianness cannot be captured by a language essentially foreign; the subtlest and the most vital nuances are accessible only to a living speech with its roots in the soil and in the organic past” (Mukherjee 3).

Indian writing in English is part of the great Indian tradition of reconciling both pre-independence and post-independence streams. It is an important setting of New English, which has evolved in many parts of the world today, and has spawned a significant and valuable place on the map of the world of Indian English novel, Untouchable 1935 is probably the satisfying novel dealing with Mulk Raj Anand's Indian stage.

It exposes the class-based society in India, a social concept centred on traditional social evils over Hindu society in 1934. Mahatma Gandhi creates a crusade against social evil in the anus is the sum total of India's cultural traditions, reflecting the deep-seated ideas, political economy and cultural and rituals that make up India's mind.
