- Authors
Rajkumar, G.
- Abstract
Mulk Raj Anand is a great humanist. His insistence on the dignity of man irrespective of caste, creed, and wealth, his plea for the practice of compassion as a living value, his conception of the whole man, the profound importance he attaches to art and poetry as instruments for developing whole man, his crusade against superstition feudalism and imperialism-these are some of the chief characteristic of humanism. Like a true humanist, he rejects God, Fate, Religion, Past and Future. He behaves in the supremacy of man. He does take cognizance of man 's greed, lust, selfishness, cruelty, and insensitivity. He has however a genuine respect for man, love for him, and faith in his ability to live a life full of dignity. Mulk Raj Anand is a novelist of the poor, the down trodden, the under privileged section of India 's teeming millions. Broadly speaking, his themes of poverty, exploitation, class-consciousness, racial relations, capitalism, racism, hunger.
