Human Suffering is perhaps the most common theme of all literature and might seem too broad a category to be really helpful to literary discussion. In the case of Indo-English fiction, however, there does seem to be a good sense in focusing on a topic like "suffering" where opinion is likely to differ because of a diversity of culturally oriented view points. Mulk Raj Anand describes human suffering in 'coolie' in terms of social injustice and class inequality. Coolie paints a ghastly picture of the lot of Indian peasants, who, uprooted from their soil, lose their way, enter a wider and crueler world, suffer countless indignities at the hands of affluent and powerful men, and eventually die premature and tragic deaths. This paper attempts to study the theme of the exploitation of the underprivileged which is presented in depth in Coolie.
