This study delves into Mulk Raj Anand's novels and how they showcase his genuine concern for important social concerns in Indian society, specifically caste, class, and social inequity. The work of Anand serves as a platform for anti-caste discourse, reformist ideology, and ethical awareness by highlighting exploited people and revealing systematic injustices. This research contends that Anand's use of social protest, empathy, and realism in his storytelling helps to bring attention to the disadvantaged and stimulates readers' awareness. Anand was the first Indian novelist to rewrite the working class and the 'untouchables' as central characters, and his works mirror the economic, political, and social realities of India during and after colonisation. Based on these findings, it's clear that Anand depicts inequality in his works as something far deeper than economic disparity—a psychological and systemic problem. Anand embodies the oppressed in their fight for independence, dignity, and fundamental human rights while exposing India's entrenched societal inequities using harsh, uncompromising words.
