    [abstract] => R.K. Narayan gained immense fame not only in India but also abroad, especially in England and America. In America, he is second only to Faulkner. He was also included in Writers and Their Works published by the British Council. He is the only Indian to receive this honour. Many of his short stories were broadcast by the BBC, which is a rare honour. Both the University of Leeds and the University of Delhi awarded him the degree of D.Litt. Apart from this, he won the Sahitya Akademi Award in 1960 for his novel The Guide (1958) and the Government of India awarded him the Padma Bhushan in 1964 for his achievements. The sole purpose of all his writings is to give aesthetic satisfaction. He never considers art as a medium of propaganda like Mulk Raj Anand, but he interprets Indian life largely as 'art for the readers'. But as a result, the incongruity and absurdity in life do not bother him, but only amuse him. This has been the characteristic attitude of humorists from Chaucer to modern times. His success as a writer lies in the fact that he can convey to the readers this sense of joy and happiness in life. Narayan is indeed a gentle novelist and short story writer, who loves his country and countrymen very much. His criticism, however bitter and far-reaching it may be, can never be violent, and what is found in his novels fully reflects the gentleness and humanity of his country. As a humanist, Narayan could not accept the dichotomy of city and countryside. Human beings are the same everywhere, each is born with his qualities, be they good or bad, and each is only partially molded by his surroundings. Narayan's villages have everything good, and evil, and murders and officials are also seen as corrupt and inefficient. Narayan is so adept in the art of novel writing that it is not possible for him to study corruption in depth. He simply sprinkles his comments here and there and his casual approach gives him strength as it makes corruption seem like a perfectly normal part of life.
