ABSTRACT

Anand, as is well known, was under a great and direct influence of Mahatma Gandhi. He felt immense pity for the down-trodden class who were the innocent victims of social injustice and exploitation. Gandhi devoted his life for the uplift of the same class and Anand followed his path at least in literature.
