During his life’s journey, some characters even haunt the novelist and compel him to write about them. Speaking as a novelist, he said that he came across people who had rather forced him to put them down in his novels. Throughout his literary career, Anand wrote about real people whom he knew quite closely. Mulk Raj Anand’s realism is revealed in his efforts to establish his point of view in a very determined and powerful manner.
