Ecological Crises in Amitav Ghosh’s Hungry Tide

Abstract

                In recent years, writers have become interested in the interaction between people and the environment, which hasn't gotten much attention in the past. This link helps people learn more about ecology and ecocritical reading. Now, literary writers focus on important environmental issues in their writing to bring attention to ecological problems. The group includes Amitav Ghosh. In his book The Hungry Tide, which takes place in the Sundarbans, which means "Beautiful Forest" and covers more than 10,000 square kilometres, he tells the storey of refugees from the island of Morichjhapi who were forced to take an exam. The main ideas of the book are environmentalism and destabilisation. In this storey, the physical environment is like an active force that brings together plant, animal, and human life. Each has an effect on the others, whether directly or indirectly. In this paper, I will try to look at The Hungry Tide by Amitav Ghosh from an ecological and eco-critical point of view.
