Mulk Raj Anand Showing His Book Untouchable To Gandhi Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Anand showing his book Untouchable to Gandhi
And Gandhi going through,
He relating to the story
And he hearing it the narrative
With so interest and suggestion.

Mulk Raj Anand at the Sabarmati Ashrama, Ahmedabad
And he showing the rough draft of Untouchable
To Gandhi, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
And going through the anecdotes and narratives,
Hearing from him patiently.

Gandhi suggested to cut and curtail and simplify
And read, re-read to barber it
And edited, re-edited and re-visited at the Ashrama
To be published as Untouchable
With an introduction by E.M.Forster.
