Mulk Raj Anand

                      On MRA's (‘Mulk' or Dr Mulk Raj Anand) 90 th birthday, Sanskriti Paritishthan had been a witness, in the presence of his friends and admirers, to the grant of ten years perpetual lease of life which needed to be renewed in 2004, but the mutually appointed mentor failed to produce this for renewal. The lease as per the law of ‘nature' expired in September, 2004, so a plea is being enforced for an eternal lease in the form of a Centre, i.e. Lokayata which was conceived in 1965, on a plot of land owned by him since fifties. This had a clean slate in the sense that this was acquired from the International Peace Prize money award by the World Peace Council,
