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.
