Abstract: Raja Rao is one of the three founding pillars of Indian writing in English, along with R.K .Narayan and Mulk Raj Anand. But, Rao's brilliance as an author is not limited to this genre. His writing was distinct from his contemporaries because he attempted not only to translate Indian sensibilities into English but also tried to incorporate Indian metaphysics, philosophy, etc., into his fictional work.
