Mulk Raj Anand grew up in that country which is under the fast developmental changes in political as well as social field. It was the time when people of India had united and acquired a meaningful direction under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi for fighting against the social, economic and political exploitation and other evils of society. Anand responded to the call of times with great enthusiasm. He did not focus only on social and political change but also interpreted Indian tradition and culture and tried to reveal its insufficiencies. He believes that the social and political system of India has been degraded and the people of Indian society have lost their faith in themselves rather they started to put faith in karma (action) and kismet (fate). Anand does not believe on fate so he wants that the people have to learn to oppose “all theories of fatalistic acceptance of God, predestination and determinism” and to recognize that “every man is the master of his own destiny”.
