Mulk Anand - A Lifestory

Here is an intro duction to Mulk Raj Anand: Mulk Raj Anand, a famous Indian writer, really changed Indian writing after the time when India got its freedom. He was born on 12 December 1905 in Peshawar, which was part of British India. He is known for writing well about the lives of poor people and people who were treated badly. His writing often showed the real problems of his time, like unfair treatment because of caste and the hard lives of working people. His first book, "Untouchable" (released in 1935), made him famous right away. The book showed one day in the life of a person who cleans toilets. It started important talks about fairness. After that, he wrote other good books like "Coolie" (1936), which showed how children were used for work, and "Two Leaves and a Bud" (1937), which was about the hard lives of people who worked on tea farms. Anand's writing was easy to read and showed things as they really were. This made many people like his books. He was greatly influenced by Mahatma Gandhi and the Indian fight for freedom. You can see these things in his writing. He also lived in England for a while and knew writers like George Orwell. During his long career, Anand got many awards, like the Sahitya Akademi Award in 1971. He is still important today, and his work encourages writers and readers to fight against unfairness and to appreciate people.
