Mahatma Gandhi is one of the most talked-about, yet frequently contentious, political figures in Indian history. There is barely a place in the pre- or post-independence era that he did not desecrate in the name of Indian independence and progress. He is a socio-political icon that is nearly impossible to forget or ignore. There is barely any discipline that he has not remarked on, and he has affected every facet of human consciousness. Many authors from a variety of disciplines, including history, politics, philosophy, literature, sociology, and more, have used him as their main inspiration because he is a vastly influential writer who has influenced many other fields.
Even though Raja Rao and Mulk Raj Anand, the other two members of the renowned triumvirate of Indian English fiction, are more interested in social or philosophical issues than R.K. Narayan, one of the most well-known senior Indian English novelists, he was unable to escape the Gandhian whirlwind that reshaped the entire social, political, and economic landscape of this nation in the 1930s and 1940s. On closer inspection, however, several of Narayan's books show that his creative ethos was also impacted by the Gandhian philosophy, even though the impact of the Gandhian thinking on Narayan was not of the same sort as it is in the situations of Raja Rao and Anand.
