Two Leaves and a Bud is a novel by Mulk Raj Anand first published in 1937.[1] Like his other novels, this one also deals with the topic of oppression of the poor, and is about a peasant who tries to protect his daughter from a British soldier.[2] The story is based in the tea plantations of Assam. The book was subsequently adapted to a Hindi film, Rahi, by Dev Anand and simultaneously released in English as The Wayfarer.[3] The book depicts in detail the concept of haves and have-nots and the exploitation of one at the hand of the other, in pre-independence India.[4]
This is a dramatic novel that ends with a "tragic clash of interests and destinies".[5]
