  Bakha - Egyptian Mythology - Ka of Menthu - Egyptian God - Bakha   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
In Egyptian mythology, Bakha (also spelt Bakh, Buchis, and Bukhis) was the manifestation of the Ka (power/life-force) of the war god Menthu, worshipped in the region of Hermonthis.
As Ka is also the Egyptian word for bull, Bakha was said to manifest in a living bull, which, since Bakha was an aspect of a war-god, was said to be a wild bull, since these are aggressive when slightly provoked.
Eventually, the Bakha was identified as a form of the Apis, and consequently became considered an incarnation of Osiris.

 Mimicry and the Carnivalesque in Anand's Untouchable
Bakha is a disruptive carnivalesque figure at the level of the religious, physical and societal.
Bakha is a rational, questioning sentient being, who has been deracinated and altered utterly by contact with the colonizer; as the narrator indicates, he has "grown out of his surroundings"(100).
Bakha fails to understand "the subtle distinction which the Colonel was trying to institute between himself and the ordinary sahibs in India whose haughtiness and vulgarity was, to his Christian mind, shameful"(124-5).

 Bakha - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
In Egyptian mythology, Bakha (also spelt Bakh, Buchis, and Bukhis) was a deification of the wild bull in the region of Hermonthis.
Because wild bulls can be very aggressive when slightly provoked, Bakha became considered the Ba (power/influence/strength of personality) of the war god of the region, who was Menthu.
A wild bull was chosen and said to be the Bukhis incarnation of Menthu, in which position it was worshipped as such.

 [India Thinkers Net]Mulk Raj Anand and the Plight of Untouchability - India Thinkers Net Archives at Zinester   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The conflict within Bakha is demonstrated repeatedly throughout the text, yet it is in the opening pages of the novel that the reader identifies with Bakha's search for an identity.
Bakha's desire to imitate the Tommies is important because "[he] can preserve his identity only to the extent that he can be conscious of his superiority"(112).
This paradox creates an environment of stasis for Bakha and for all untouchables; the resolutions suggested within the text only perpetuate this stasis because, according to the novel, the only way to alleviate untouchability must come from the hands of either the oppressors or from something beyond the untouchables' control and understanding.

 Working Dogs Book Store - Untouchable (Penguin Classics) (Mulk Raj Anand)
He was not a `cardboard' hero but someone pitiable in his eagerness to please and his gratitude for the smallest crumbs of kindness from his superiors.
The characterisation was considered to be vivid with the story being told in a succession of short `set pieces' entailing dramatic encounters with the friends and the enemies of the Untouchables.
Bakha is left at the end of the day only with the comfort of knowing that his situation has been noticed as something which needs to be addressed.

 Untouchable (Twentieth Century Classics S.) - RadioDirectory.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Bakha's life as an untouchable is portrayed as his 'fate' there is no way out of this appalling life of cleaning up after his fellow men.
Bakha is humiliated and deprived of all his dignity in this novel, but his story is told with compassion and I have to admit I found it very moving as well as depressing.
Bakha retains a great deal of dignity in the novel and the reader comes away feeling a great degree of sympathy for him as a human being.

 History 4403, Essay One
It is by the very appellation of Bakha's class, or, indeed, the actual lack of such a varna that instantly cuts to the core of his plight as a human.
Upon humbly and penitently accepting his upbraiding, Bakha is given a final insult to his humanity, as the man slaps him with such celerity as to imply the reign of inconsequence in his actions against apparently so low a creature as Bakha.
Bakha is truly nothing in the eyes of the higher castes, apparently not a member of South Asian society.

 The Hindu : Literary Review / Book Review : Early classics
Yet Bakha's life is not wholly devoid of joy.
Bakha cannot lead a life of dignity unless someone leads him to it, whether it is Gandhi, the missionaries or western industrialists with their flush toilets.
Though it did seem contrived, Bakha in Untouchable seemed to have a way out even if he had to be led to it.

 FS Doc - GVB Bakha   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The Bakha's dual Akh-12 engines are baffled and masked, giving it a small profile for heat-seeking missiles.
The Bakha is truly a bomber with pretensions of the wild life, but don't let it go to your head: an interceptor can still outmanuver you easily.
Two things that are important to remember about the Bakha: they only have two secondary banks (the bomber-issue third is missing) and diverting power to engines does not increase your top speed, only how quickly your afterburners recharge.

 Readers' Group Review of Untouchable by Mulk Raj Anand
The language he uses is rich and vividly transports the reader to the sadness and dirt surrounding the life of an Untouchable, through Bakha, the main character’s life.
The fact that within his own caste system there were further sub divisions which made Bakha's life extra hard was an eye opener i.e.
This is evident by Bakha's description of the clothes he chose to wear, a sign of his own status, distinguishing himself from his peers, wanting to emulate the British Tommies.

 Untouchable - Social Oppression Exposed in Mulk Raj Anand’s Untouchable
As the story progresses, the reader experiences with Bakha the reality of his place in society and his struggle with that realization.
At one point in the novel, Bakha is sweeping the courtyard of a Hindu temple, and is overpowered by his curiosity to see what lies within.
Bakha's inner struggle over peering into the temple and the repercussions of his acting out that desire parallel the divided nature of his will:

 Patchword - Time Out - Book Recommendations - Untouchable
I found it especially thought provoking as the author used Bakha as a medium and voice to represent the birth of a modern India.
He experiences and identity conflict within himself as he is attracted to the 'sahib' tendencies yet simultaneously he is forced to face the harsh reality that he is at the lowest rung of the caste system.
Though he does not even raise his voice against his persecutor, Bakha is heaped with 'accolades' like a donkey that has shirked from his work.

 The Indelible Problem: Mulk Raj Anand and the Plight of Untouchabilitye
The choice to limit Bakha's intelligence further enforces his inability to fully understanding his situation.
R.T. Robertson pinpoints in his article "Untouchable as Archetypal Novel," the central paradox of the novel that "Bakha is both isolated from and bound to his culture; it will not allow him fully to participate in the society and cannot release him from it because of the essential service he performs for it."(101).
Clearly Bakha is a rebellious individual within, yet the stifling of this rebellious nature only further asserts the inability of untouchables to free themselves; this is in effect the classical post-colonial conundrum.

Bakha is a young man, a proud and even an attractive young man, but none the less he is an outcast in a system that is now only slowly changing and was then as cruel and debilitating as that of apartheid.
Into this re-creation of one day in the life of Bakha, sweeper and latrine-cleaner, Anand poured a vitality, fire and richness of detail that have caused him to be acclaimed as his country's Charles Dickens as well as this century's greatest revealer of the 'other' India.
Even though he knows he can not change his social standing Bakha never become sour about his lowly position.
