Abstract
The aim of the dissertation is to explore Marxism in Pervez Musharraf’s In the Line of Fire. The objective of the research is to substantiate appearance versus reality of a soldier’s life in the Pakistani Army through Marxism. It reflects the Marxist production of labor and product in the form of a Pakistani army cadet. The study highlights the formation of a soldier portrayed by the illustrious instance of a potter going about his work. The primary tool of research for the study is General Pervez Musharraf’s memoir, “In the Line of Fire”. Marxism by Karl Marx forms the secondary tool of research. The significance of the paper is to manifest in its analytical delineation of the memoir as a testimony for Marxist strands in the mechanics of inception of the Pakistani army. Furthermore the research tends to explore a new perspective around In the Line of Fire which has not been deconstructed and critically analyzed in terms of Marxism. Future researchers can explore Existentialism in the memoir.
