In the present paper is an attempt has been made to analyse and interpret the thematic patterns and techniques of Mulk Raj Anand’s novels. The greatness of his fictional art lies in his ability to translate human misery and predicament into a live and pulsating reality. As an extremely sensitive and aware person, Mulk Raj Anand felt acutely the wide gulf between the 'haves and the have-nots'. The sheer insensitivity of the mighty and powerful ones of society towards the unfortunate poor baffled him. Even as a child he resented the orthodox restrictions levelled against the outcastes and low caste people. As he matured his emotional apprehension of reality shaped his intellectual response as well. Thus making his presentation not just emotional but also rational.
