This research investigates the notion of conflicting and blurring of the boundaries of social classes. Mohsin Hamid’s two novels, Moth Smoke (2000) and How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia (2013) are the selected texts for the analysis and post-Marxism is selected as the theoretical/conceptual framework as well as the methodology of this research. The research is significant as it is evident that Marxism is now in crisis and its extension is necessary to cope with the current socio-political and economic situation of the globalized world. The objective of this research is to highlight the elusive and transitory nature of social classes in Pakistan. The tentative result of this research is that Hamid’s fiction is a challenge to the existing Marxist ideology of the fixed class system in various societies of the world, and elusive, the circular and transitory nature of social class will result in the emancipation of man from such fixed social structures and economic constructs
