Raja Rao’s first novel Kanthapura shows him in complete mastery of the various aspects of the novel as a form of art. Never again since this masterpiece of Indo-Anglian fiction on the theme of Indian struggle for freedom has been able to recapture the perfect harmony of plot, character, dialogue and narrative on one hand, and fantasy and the realism on the other.
