| Abstract |
The present paper attempts to give an insight in the approach of depicting social realism in Indian Writings in English, especially in the selected texts Untouchable (1935) and Untold Story of a Bhangi Vice-Chancellor (2001) written by Mulk Raj Anand and Shyamlal Jaidia, respectively. The motifs of writings of both the writers focus to depict the harsh realities of life in Indian society especially for the poor and the deprived people despite the fact they belonged to different times in India. Still the concerns of these writers primarily touch the intricacies of discrimination against Untouchables in pre-Independence days and in the post Independence times.
