Environmental Devastation and Degradation in Novel ‘Aranyak: of the Forest’

Abstract

This paper discusses the novel Aranyak: of the forest that deals with the theme of deforestation. The research depicts the environmental devastation and degradation that causes the threat to the habitats of the forest. The novel The Upheaval illustrates environmental damage caused by the industrialization that ruins the beautiful and pristine nature as well as the innocent natives of the Goan Village. The paper opens with a lovely creative energy of thinking about our amazing space, which contains living beings other than humans. woods have been regulated by natural animals since time immemorial, and they have prospered; but, when man began to invade the woods, the ecological balance was disrupted. Bandyopadhyaya's Aranyak: of Forest is used for a thorough study. It tells the narrative of plants & trees, crops & jungle, birds & animals, creatures & peasants & tribals in all their forms: beautiful, angelic, warm, uncorrupted, and wicked, evil, uncomfortable, and corrupted. This paper provides point-by-point statistics about pixies in the backwoods. Everyone believes in the pixies and spirits that live in the forest, but only a few have had the opportunity to encounter them. The space found in the woods is mysterious to the point that, when away from human-occupied lands, everything is so vast, so profound, and thus intriguing to explore. Because these areas remain unspoiled and undeveloped, strong or demonic elements such as ghosts and pixies have made them their homes.
