==Early life and education==

Born in [[Peshawar]], Anand studied at [[Khalsa College, Amritsar]], graduating with honours in 1924<ref name=iloveindia /> before moving to England. While working in a restaurant to support himself, he attended [[University College London]] as an undergraduate and later studied at [[Cambridge University]], earning a Ph.D in Philosophy in 1929 with a dissertation on [[Bertrand Russell]] and the [[Empiricism|English empiricists]].<ref>William Walsh, ''Indian Literature in English'', Longman Group Limited (1990), p. 63</ref> During this time he forged friendships with members of the [[Bloomsbury Group]]. He also spent time in [[Geneva]], lecturing at the [[League of Nations]]' [[International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation]].

Anand married English actress and Communist Kathleen Van Gelder in 1938; they had a daughter, Susheila, before divorcing in 1948.<ref name=telegraphobit>{{cite news|newspaper=The Daily Telegraph|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/1472853/Mulk-Raj-Anand.html|title=Mulk Raj Anand|date=29 September 2004|access-date=4 October 2017}}</ref>

==Career==
Mulk Raj Anand's literary career was launched by a family tragedy arising from the rigidity of India's [[caste system]]. His first prose essay was a response to the suicide of an aunt excommunicated by her family for sharing a meal with a [[Women in Islam|Muslim woman]].<ref>C. J. George, [https://books.google.com/books?id=M7LSHdlvRtcC&pg=PA8&dq=mulk+raj+anand+aunt+muslim&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ehMqUbuPNNCykgWY8oH4Aw&ved=0CD4Q6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=mulk%20raj%20anand%20aunt%20muslim&f=false ''Mulk Raj Anand, His Art and Concerns: A Study of His Non-autobiographical Novels''], New Delhi: Atlantic Publishers, 1994.</ref><ref>Shailaja B. Wadikar, [https://books.google.com/books?id=g2DHBzEO9UEC&pg=PA144&dq=mulk+raj+anand+aunt+muslim&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ehMqUbuPNNCykgWY8oH4Aw&ved=0CEQQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=mulk%20raj%20anand%20aunt%20muslim&f=false "Silent Suffering and Agony in Mulk Raj Anand's ''Untouchable''"], in Amar Nath Prasad and Rajiv K. Malik, ''Indian English Poetry and Fiction: Critical Elucidations'', Volume 1, New Delhi: Sarup & Sons, 2007, p. 144–155.</ref> His first novel, ''[[Untouchable (novel)|Untouchable]]'', published in 1935, is a chilling exposé of the lives of India's [[Dalit (outcaste)|untouchable]] caste. The novel follows a single day in the life of Bakha, a toilet-cleaner, who accidentally bumps into a member of a higher caste, triggering a series of humiliations. Bakha searches for salve to the tragedy of the destiny into which he was born, talking with a Christian [[missionary]], listening to a speech about untouchability by [[Mahatma Gandhi]] and a subsequent conversation between two educated Indians, but by the end of the book Anand suggests that it is technology, in the form of the newly introduced flush toilet, that may be his savior by eliminating the need for a caste of toilet cleaners.

''[[Untouchable (novel)|Untouchable]]'', which captures the vernacular inventiveness of the [[Punjabi language|Punjabi]] and [[Hindi language|Hindi]] idiom in English was widely acclaimed, and won Anand his reputation as India's [[Charles Dickens]]. The novel's introduction was written by his friend [[E. M. Forster]], whom he met while working on [[T. S. Eliot]]'s magazine ''[[The Criterion (magazine)|Criterion]]''.<ref>[http://www.penguinbooksindia.com/en/content/mulk-raj-anand "Mulk Raj Anand"], Penguin India.</ref> Forster writes: "Avoiding rhetoric and circumlocution, it has gone straight to the heart of its subject and purified it."

Dividing his time between London and India during the 1930s and 40s,<ref name=iloveindia /> Anand was active in the [[Indian independence movement]]. While in London, he wrote propaganda on behalf of the Indian cause alongside India's future Defence Minister [[V. K. Krishna Menon]], while trying to make a living as a novelist and journalist.<ref>Cowasjee, Saros. ''So Many Freedoms: A Study of the Major Fiction of Mulk Raj Anand'', New Delhi: Oxford University Press, 1977.</ref> At the same time, he supported Left causes elsewhere around the globe, traveling to Spain to volunteer in the [[Spanish Civil War]], although his role in the conflict was more journalistic than military. He spent [[World War II]] working as a scriptwriter for the [[BBC]] in London, where he became a friend of [[George Orwell]]. Orwell's review of Anand's 1942 novel ''[[The Sword and the Sickle]]'' hints at the significance of its publication: "Although Mr. Anand's novel would still be interesting on its own merits if it had been written by an Englishman, it is impossible to read it without remembering every few pages that it is also a cultural curiosity. The growth of an English-language Indian literature is a strange phenomenon, and it will have its effect on the post-war world".<ref>Orwell, George. ''The Collected Essays, Journalism and Letters of George Orwell – My Country Right or Left 1940–1943'', London: Martin Secker & Warburg, 1968, pp. 216–220.</ref> He was also a friend of [[Picasso]] and had paintings by Picasso in his personal art collection.

Anand returned to India in 1947 and continued his prodigious literary output there. His work includes poetry and essays on a wide range of subjects, as well as autobiographies, novels and short stories. Prominent among his novels are ''[[The Village (Anand novel)|The Village]]'' (1939), ''[[Across the Black Waters]]'' (1939), ''[[The Sword and the Sickle]]'' (1942), all written in England; ''[[Coolie (book)|Coolie]]'' (1936) and ''[[The Private Life of an Indian Prince]]'' (1953) are perhaps the most important of his works written in India. He also founded a literary magazine, ''[[Marg (magazine)|Marg]]'', and taught in various universities. During the 1970s, he worked with the [[International Progress Organization]] (IPO) on the issue of cultural self-awareness among nations. His contribution to the conference of the IPO in [[Innsbruck]] ([[Austria]]) in 1974<ref>[https://books.google.at/books?id=YI_nZjqwPIYC&pg=PA73&dq=%2Banand+%2B%22the+search+for+national+identity+in+india%22&hl=de&ei=OEz7Tc38GtSx8QPO48WpCQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=%2Banand%20%2B%22the%20search%20for%20national%20identity%20in%20india%22&f=false Text of lecture]</ref> had a special influence on debates that later became known under the heading of the "[[Dialogue among Civilizations]]". Anand also delivered a series of lectures on eminent Indians, including [[Mahatma Gandhi]], [[Jawaharlal Nehru]] and [[Rabindranath Tagore]], commemorating their achievements and significance and paying special attention to their distinct brands of [[humanism]].

His 1953 novel ''The Private Life of an Indian Prince'' is autobiographical in the manner of the rest of his subsequent oeuvre. In 1950 Anand embarked on a project to write a seven-part autobiography titled "seven ages of man", of which he was only able to complete four parts beginning in 1951 with ''Seven Summers'', followed by ''Morning Face'', "Confession of a Lover" and "Bubble".<ref>[http://www.sahitya-akademi.org/sahitya-akademi/awa10304.htm#english Sahitya Akademi Award recipients in English] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070713025744/http://www.sahitya-akademi.org/sahitya-akademi/awa10304.htm |date=13 July 2007 }}</ref> Like much of his later work, it contains elements of his spiritual journey as he struggles to attain a higher degree of self-awareness.

==Political orientation==
Anand was a lifelong socialist. His novels attack various aspects of India's social structure as well as the legacy of British rule in India; they are considered important social statements as well as literary artefacts. Anand himself was steadfast in his belief that politics and literature remained inextricable from one another.<ref name=berry>{{Cite journal|title='Purpose' in Mulk Raj Anand's Fiction|last=Berry|first=Margaret|journal=Mahfil|publisher=Michigan State University, Asian Studies Center|volume=5|number=1/2 1968-1969|pages=85–90|date=1968–1969 |jstor=40874218}}</ref> He was a founding member of the [[Progressive Writers' Association|Progressive Writers’ Association]] and also he helped drafting the ''manifesto'' of the association.<ref name=HafeezMalik>{{Cite journal|last=Malik|first=Hafeez|date=1967|title=The Marxist Literary Movement in India and Pakistan|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/2051241|journal=The Journal of Asian Studies|volume=26|issue=4|pages=649–664|doi=10.2307/2051241|issn=0021-9118}}</ref>
