The Private Life of an Indian Prince is a novel by Mulk Raj Anand first published in 1953.[1] The book is classified as one of Anand's most impressive and important works.[2] In keeping with his other writings dealing with the topic of social and political reform, this book deals with the abolition of the princely states system in India.[3] While the novel is not an autobiography, like many of his earlier novels, it follows an autobiographical tone.[4]
In 2004, a commemorative edition including this book was launched by Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.[5]
