An Assessment Of Eco-Consciousness In The Novels Of Mulk Raj Anand

Abstract

Mulk Raj Anand, one of the literary forces of Indian Writing in English, focuses on the problems of society through utter realism. Meanwhile, he seems to convey eco-consciousness which gets reflected in the texture and background of the story of the novels. His fidelity to real life settings also helps ecocriticism to make itself evident to the readers. Inter-connectedness of the problems of society and portrayal of his characters and description of nature, all seems to swath in one thought of line and displays eco consciousness at every juncture.
