Abstract

Anand’s fiction may appropriately be called literature of ‘ethics without God’ a literature of protest, a kind of literature which he holds in high esteem because it strikes hard at the roots of sectionalism, snobbery, contempt, etc., which cause the modern man’s degeneration and despair. His creative writing are doubtless saturated with the element of ethics which is inalienably related to his view of life. A large number of critical studies are available on Mulk Raj Anand, the Titan of Indian English literature and pioneer of Indian English novel. But much remains to be done to bring out exhaustive and composite work on this subject. The present study is a sincere endeavor to undertake a comprehensive evaluation of ‘Ethics without God’ in his novels. It also aims at presenting an organic character of his fiction and proper appreciation of Anand’s genius.
