Cultural Gems in the Fictions of Chinua Achebe and Mulk Raj Anand

Abstract: The present research paper focuses on the interrelationship and interconnection between Cultureand Literature, features, and the influential role of culture in literary creations; literature offers a platform to expose the conscious and subconscious thoughts, feelings and ideas. Cultural sense constantly exists in the mind of every individual, and intentionally or unintentionally the cultural doctrine of the artist peeps through his artistic creations, sometimes to express his inner voice and sometimes to communicate about his community. In the case of Achebe and Anand, literature has become a strong gizmo through which they have promoted their cultures and traditions, and attested the fact that their societies are not uncivilized, butpossessan ancient cultural heritage. Their fictions illustrate that Nigeria and India have gracious and superior ethnic values.
