The research paper studies the issues of class struggle as they are presented in Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist and Mulk Raj Anand's Coolie. It investigates how, in the context of globalisation, these literary works reveal the relationships between caste, class, and culture. The paper also offers a comparison between the two novels and contrasts the struggles of marginalised people with repressive social institutions. This paper examines the ways in which class strife is portrayed in Indian and Victorian society, highlighting the parallels and variations between the two works' characters, settings, and themes. Additionally, it aims to broaden the understanding of the complicated issues of social injustice and inequality that these influential literary masterpieces portray.
