Abstract
This research highlights the social injustices through the lens of Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of capital. Systematic injustices are fabricated, maintained, and challenged in fictional works that mirror real-world societal structures. Bourdieu’s concept of capital includes social capital, cultural capital, economic capital, and symbolic capital which help acquire dominance in postcolonial societies like Pakistan. As capital gives power and value within a social circle, those who own any form of capital exploit others by using their power. Capital works as a double-edged sword: sometimes it brings hope for people to leave the systematic obstructions and sometimes it functions as a medium of exclusion resulting in marginalization.  Fiction is a powerful tool for societal interpretation that helps understand sociological dynamics.
