Humanism In The Novels Of Mulk Raj Anand

Introduction: Mulk Raj Anand is known as a novelist and short-story writer. He occupies a prominent position in the world of Indian English Literature. But Anand is multifaceted personality: he is poet and essayist, a professor and educationalist, a pacifist and social worker, an art critic and a critic of music, sculpture, dance and drama. What lends light to all these facets is his inalienable trust in man and his deep love for him, in a word, his humanism which inspires and informs all that he writes and does. In fact, Anand’s philosophy of humanism is of such pivotal significance in the entire corpus of his writings that one of the most pertinent ways of viewing, his fiction is from this angle of his humanist philosophy “Humanity is not the highest Godhead: God is more than humanity but in humanity too we have to find and serve him”.
