Dr. Narendra T. Mane
Abstract :
Class and caste discrimination as rooted in the society at larger canvas have become the core
themes of literary creations from the time immemorial. Mulk Raj Anand, who worked as a champion for
socialistic cause through his fiction, has voiced against it by exposing its ugly and dire nature. Through Coolie Mulk
Raj Anand registers his disgust against such distinction between the poor and the rich. His Coolie portrays a powerful
tragedy of an orphan boy, Munoo, who comes across painful experiences of exploitation and inhuman treatment at the
hands of humans of rich class making his life more painful. The novelist puts Munoo before us as a victim of irrational
systems and the inhuman cruelties of society. The novel takes us to different places and cities showing the inhuman
treatment given to Munoo and how he copes with all circumstances alone. His small life seems to be a saga of sufferings. This paper presents Anands protest against the ruthless exploitation of the weaker section of the society at the
hands of the rich and discrimination thereof through this novel.
