Abstract
The paper tries to discuss colonial and racial issues and plausible solutions for them through a study of Isaac Asimov’s The Caves of Steel. The trend in the Science-Fiction genre has been to portray the domination of the developed over the developing. Allegorically robots also represent colonised people. In The Caves of Steel, Asimov has made a consistent effort to transform the attitude of people by suggesting that robots too could be taken as human partners. Further, he has presented these robots as incorruptible, divine and a better breed.
