The works of Mulk Raj Anand have drawn worldwide attention. Anand (1905-2004) is one of those novelists of India who have established their fame in the history of Indo-Anglian literature during their lifetime. With Raja Rao and R.K. Naryan he has been regarded as one the "founding fathers" of the Indian English novel. Anand has freed the Indo-Anglian fiction from the narrow bonds of romance and presented through his novels, a lively image of India, the details of which reflect his concern with its social reality. He has posed fundamental social questions related to the present day Indian society and has sought to awaken his countrymen to various injustices, prejudices and irrationalities, that, like a dead weight, lie on India’s soul and hinder her march to progress.
