This paper analyses among the Indo-Anglian novelists writing in India, Mulk Raj Anand is one of the few writers having, what he would like to call, “certain hunches about the novel”. Even though he has not enunciated an elaborate theory of the novel, it is possible to see in his numerous letters, essays, and lectures the gradual evolution of an idea of the novel. The novel form to Anand has been a vehicle for conveying his deepest concern for the human predicament in the contemporary India. And one can see in his fictional idea an indisputable relationship between form and content.
