This study analyzes the book coolie by Mulk Raj Anand in terms of the social emotions it elicits and the cross section of Indian society it provides between the country's poor and its elite. He writes on how those who are marginalized in society (economically, politically, or culturally) are repressed, oppressed, exploited, and humiliated in his books. In his story, Mulk Raj Anand dramatizes the plight of the underprivileged via the main character Munoo. The author must be proficient in that language, and their usage of it must be consistent with the target culture's established norms, values, and customs. The Indo-Aryan authors were brave enough to take on that task. One such author who has dabbled in linguistic experimentation is Mulk Raj Anand. In doing so, he used language in such a manner as to quickly draw the reader into the depiction of the character and the circumstance. In his works, Anand presents people from many walks of Indian life.
Key words: Humiliation, Poverty, Criticism, Mulk Raj.
