Mulk Raj Anand: The Influence of His Works on Indian Literature

This research presents the impact of Mulk Raj Anand's works on Indian literature. As one of the precursors to voices in Indian English literature, social realist humanist cultural confluence is something that Mulk Raj Anand has contributed to and will influence several generations of writers. His new narrative techniques and devotion to social justice have also shaped the evolution of Indian literature greatly while at the same time encouraging dialogues and understandings across cultures. This paper thus attempts to review Anand's legacy in discourses he engendered relative to cultural identity, social justice, and innovation in literature. It may demonstrate how his work is relevant in the present day, rediscovering the strength of change through literature as manifold an issue could be for understandings based on human experience.

Abstract

This research presents the impact of Mulk Raj Anand's works on Indian literature. As one of the precursors to voices in Indian English literature, social realist humanist cultural confluence is something that Mulk Raj Anand has contributed to and will influence several generations of writers. His new narrative techniques and devotion to social justice have also shaped the evolution of Indian literature greatly while at the same time encouraging dialogues and understandings across cultures. This paper thus attempts to review Anand's legacy in discourses he engendered relative to cultural identity, social justice, and innovation in literature. It may demonstrate how his work is relevant in the present day, rediscovering the strength of change through literature as manifold an issue could be for understandings based on human experience.
