Abstract
The story of suppressed and subjugated finds voices for advocating its cause in the ideology of Marxism which pleads their case by rejecting and refusing the power, control and might of bourgeoisie in the economic, political and capitalistic sphere, granting the proletariats a sound situation for survival-andstepping-forward in a classless society. The study aims at exploring the sociopolitical and economic conditions as portrayed by Mohsin Hamid in his novel Moth Smoke. It goes on to explore the reactions of the characters and the possible vision preached by Mohsin Hamid in his work. Marxism serves as the theoretical framework and Fairclough’s approach of Socio-cultural practice marks the method of the study. The findings of the paper suggest that socioeconomic and political system strengthens the bourgeoisie and breaks the back of the desolate and distressed. The solution lies in toning down the intense accumulation of power and control in the centre and restoring balance by incorporating periphery in the socio-political and economic centre on equal footing.
