The purpose of the research paper is to examine the socio-political crisis of the
marginalized communities through a comparative analysis of select works by Indian writer,
Munshi Premchand and American writer, Paul Beatty. The proposed study focuses on positive
mark-up of marginality, which helps to create rejected individual viewpoints and acts as a form
of resistance against hegemony. Additionally, the goal is to empower marginalized groups to
question the social and economic relationships in which they live and to share knowledge that
challenges the existing quo. Through an analysis and critique of the selected works, the current
paper focuses on the comparative picture of the excluded groups of Indians and AfricanAmericans. Using methodology of Sandra Harding's ‘Standpoint Theory’, the paper examines
Paul Beatty's The White Boy Shuffle and Premchand's Karambhoomi.
