Coolie is a novel by Mulk Raj Anand first published in 1936.[1] The novel reinforced Anand's position as one of India's leading English authors.[2] The book is highly critical of British rule in India and India's caste system.[3] The plot revolves around a 14 year old boy, Munoo, and his plight due to poverty and exploitation aided by the social and political structures in place.[4]

In 2004, a commemorative edition including this book was launched by Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.[5]
