'''P. Sachidanandan''' (born 1936), who uses the [[pseudonym]] '''Anand''', is an Indian writer, writing primarily in [[Malayalam]]. He is one of the known living intellectuals in India. His works are noted for their philosophical flavor, historical context and their [[humanism]]. He is a recipient of the [[Sahitya Akademi Award]] and three [[Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award]]s ([[Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award for Story|story]], [[Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award for Novel|novel]], and [[Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award for Scholarly Literature|scholarly literature]]). He is also a recipient of [[Ezhuthachan Puraskaram]], [[Vayalar Award]], [[Odakkuzhal Award]], [[Muttathu Varkey Award]], [[Vallathol Award]] and Yashpal Award. He did not accept the Yashpal Award and the [[Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award for Novel]].

==Life==
Sachidanandan was born in 1936 to a primary school teacher at [[Irinjalakuda]] in the [[Thrissur district]] (Trichur) of [[Kerala]].<ref name="Anand (P.Sachidanandan) -- Malayalam Writer">{{Cite web |url=https://www.loc.gov/acq/ovop/delhi/salrp/anand.html |title=Anand (P.Sachidanandan) -- Malayalam Writer |date=2019-01-25 |website=www.loc.gov |publisher=The South Asian Literary Recordings Project (Library of Congress New Delhi Office) |access-date=2019-01-25}}</ref> He graduated in [[Civil Engineering]] from [[College of Engineering, Trivandrum]] in 1958. He retired as Planning Director of the Central Water Commission after a career which included extended stints working in [[Gujarat]], [[Mumbai]] and [[Bengal]]. He also worked in the military ([[North-East Frontier Agency]]) for four years during 1960–64 in the Short Service Commission.<ref name="Anand - Sahapedia interview">{{Cite web |url=https://www.sahapedia.org/anand-0 |title=Anand - Sahapedia interview |date=2019-02-28 |website=www.sahapedia.org |access-date=2019-02-28}}</ref>

==Writing==
It was the famous critic [[M. Govindan]] who helped Anand publish his maiden novel ''Alkkoottam''.<ref name="Anand - Chintha profile">{{Cite web |url=http://www.chintha.com/node/420 |title=Anand - Chintha profile |date=2019-01-25 |website=www.chintha.com |access-date=2019-01-25}}</ref> At age 34, it was his first ever published work. It was a new experience for the Malayalee readers and the book received rave reviews and pungent criticisms alike. He followed ''Alkkoottam'' (Crowd) with three more equally abstract novels: ''Maranacertificate'' (Death Certificate), ''Abhayarthikal'' (Refugees) and ''Utharayanam''. These books made Anand a writer with considerable standing in Malayalam. But it was in the late eighties and early nineties that Anand came up with two more novels, ''Marubhoomikal Undakunnathu'' and ''Govardhanante Yaathrakal'', which made him an icon in Malayalam literature.

Contemporary Malayalam writer [[M. Mukundan]] made the following comment about Anand's style.
<blockquote>
Anand's is the most articulate voice in Kerala today, which questions the moral premises of politics and most importantly, resists Hindu fundamentalism. His essays and novels unmistakably establish a metaphor of resistance. The prose in Anand's novels is taut - no moon will ever rise in it, nor flowers blossom or river breezes waft through. His language, stripped to the bone, sometimes challenges the reader to go through it.
</blockquote>

Anand has also written many short stories and articles, most of which deal with plight of the ordinary people who are exploited by the people in power. His characters are not necessarily a Malayali, and often weaves in historical elements into his stories. More often they are also located outside Kerala. He is also a prolific essayist. He occasionally writes poems also.

==Criticisms==
The 'abstractness' of Anand's writing has been a cause for criticism, from people alleging he does not actually name concrete people and organizations, instead relying on a historical and abstract narrative, even in his political essays. [[Balachandran Chullikkadu]], a well-known poet in Malayalam, once said that Anand is the messiah of NGOs.
