Arundhati roy god of small things talks about caste system,male dominated society ,and child sexual abuse.In a society in india people are usually discriminated in the name of caste system .people are labelled according to their caste system .In the novel we find velutha an untouchable.Usually certain works are meant for untouchable
like cleaning the lavatory etc.untouchable in order to escape the scourge of untouchability had joined the anglican church with the hope that they would be treated alike but to their dismay they had separate church ,separate sevices and separate priests .untouchable were not supposed to touch anything that touchabes touched.untouchables were not allowed to walk on public roads .They were not allowed to cover their upper bodies.They had to put their hands over their mouth when they spoke to divert their polluted breath away from those whom addressed.Where as in the case of veluthahe was expert in carpentary skill as well as in machines in the factory of paradse pickles but pravans were not meant to be carpenters but inspite of that velutha tries to climb the ladder of the society.mammachi paid velutha more than the other untouchables in the factory this made other untouchables to resent velutha.
