Gandhian Strain in The Indian English Novel

Gandhiji not only influenced a majority of Indian writers but also a good number of writers all over the world. He directly or indirectly has left a tremendous impact on the world thinkers and philosophers. Though Gandhiji has influenced Indian English literature as a whole, he has left a more potent and revealing impact on the Indian English Fiction in the choice of themes and characters. The present book is an attempt to bring to light Gandhian impact on the Indian English novelists, particularly on Mulk Rarj Anand, R.K. Narayan, Raja Rao, Bhabani Bhattacharya, Manohar Malgonkar and Chaman Nahal. Hopefully this book shall draw the attention of the learned scholars and students of the Indian English Fiction.
