Abstract
'Some life events have a profound effect on the human subconscious', and Mulk Raj Anand also witnessed such incidents which marks a deep impact on his mind when his aunt ' Devaki' committed suicide because she was excommunicated by her family for sharing a meal with a Muslim women. This incident roused the inherent sense of justice in Anand when he was a child and this sense of justice is well reflected in his novels. His works may appropriately be called as "a literature of protest".
