in Coolie. I choose this topic because in India, Traditional Hindustani has big
influence in Indian people?s way of life, but in Coolie, money is more powerful
than Traditional Hindustani culture. Here there is cultural displacement in the
main character?s life. The analysis is about the cultural displacement especially on
how the cultural displacement happens in Munoo?s life and furthermore I?m also
curious to know how Munoo deals with the cultural displacement. The scope of
this thesis is cultural displacement and the analysis is limited on the main
character, Munoo, because he is the central figure who experience cultural
displacement. In order to find out the answer post- colonial theory is used
especially Frantz Fanon?s theories on Cultural Displacement. From the analysis I
find out that in the cultural displacement in Munoo?s life, there is a change in
traditional Hindustani British influenced during British colonialism. I also find out
that Munoo deals with the cultural displacement in his life by his endeavor to
survive, reclaim his dignity as an Indian and try to erode the colonialist ideology.
