About the Book

It is true that science and technology have added a lot of comfort to the lives of human beings. Yet we cannot allow technology to control our lives and deteriorate links with the environment. As ecology and environment protection are the leading contemporary international issues, the book "ECO-CRITICAL STUDY OF CONTEMPORARY INDIAN ENGLISH NOVELS" at the outset aims to establish the fact that 'Ecocriticism' is the need of the hour to sustain the environment. References to the prominent Indian English contemporary writers like Anita Desai, Arundhati Roy, Amitav Ghosh, and Indra Sinha have been made in reference to some of their well-known literary works to evoke the sense of interest and sympathy of the readers towards the environment and its present state of ongoing deterioration. The book illustrates how all four writers have presented the picture of nature in their respective literary works, as our foster mother. The book aims to cater to the academic requirements of the readers who are mostly engaged in the genre of ecocritical studies in English literature. By highlighting marginalized concepts like 'Marxist Environmentalism', 'Ecofeminism', 'Ecocide' and the struggle and sync between humans and nature, the book emphasizes the need for the protection of our ecosystem and urges the readers to sympathize with nature.
