    www.TLHjournal.com Literary Herald ISSN: 2454-3365 An International Refereed/Peer-reviewed English e-Journal Impact Factor: 3.019(IIJIF) Ecological Consciousness in the Novels of Amitav Ghosh Dr. M. Sreelatha, Ph.D Lecturer in English, DR BR Ambedkar Govt MR Polytechnic for Women, Karimnagar, Telangana, India. ABSTRACT The reflection of ecological concerns in literature has made its landmark entry with the writings of Raja Rao, R.K Narayan, Bhabani Bhattacharya, Kamala Markandya, Ruskin Bond Anita Desai, Kiran Desai and Amitav Ghosh. One of the important aspects of these writers is that they write predominantly the relationship between man and nature. They have given more poignancy to the exploration by dealing not only with beauty of the nature but also with power of the nature. Amitav Ghosh is one of the most eminent and accomplished writers of this genre with a strong eco-consciousness. He occupies a significant place in the world of ecocriticism. His works deal with the major themes of migration, displacement, subaltern experiences as well as the global concerns of environment related to flora and fauna. In the present paper, two novels of Ghosh The Hungry Tide (2004) and River of Smoke (2011) are considered for analyzing his consciousness towards ecology. Key Words: Environment, Ecological Balance, Human Interaction, Disasters. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Human beings are closely associated with the nature. They constantly depend on it and interact with it. Apart from depending on nature for his survival, man has also made many transformations to nature to meet his needs. As a result nature also changed its face through interactions with man.

Sundarsingh, M.A., M.Phil., Ph.D. Indianized English in Shashi Deshpande’s That Long Silence J. Sundarsingh, M.A., M. Phil., Ph.D. The language of Shashi Deshpande‟s That Long Silence is evaluated based on Braj B. Kachru‟s theory of Indianization and the finding unravels the inevitable truth that English language is no longer a foreign language but very much the language of Indian society. The study also confirms Deshpande‟s view that Indian expressions can be easily managed in English language. Especially women writers find themselves more comfortable while writing in English as they are free from cultural complications of their first language. Thus Shashi Deshpande is able to bring out the inner feelings of Indian male self and female self without any restriction of authorial self in her That Long Silence. GENERAL PERSPECTIVE Writing in English grants an Indian writer an advantageous position of distancing himself/herself from the readers so that he/she could express his/her views without any social, spiritual or personal inhibitions.

  • Recollecting the Migration Memories of Ruskin Bond
    Journal of Critical Reviews ISSN- 2394-5125 Vol 7, Issue 5, 2020 Review Article RECOLLECTING THE MIGRATION MEMORIES OF RUSKIN BOND Dr. Diya Panjwani, Assistant professor, Humanities and Science department, KL university, Hyderabad. Email: [email protected] Received: 01.01.2020 Revised: 15.02.2020 Accepted: 25.03.2020 Abstract There are reminiscences of British Imperial history when white man migrated to new lands. Life in India gave Britishers a challenge due to extreme weather condition. As a result, they made hills as their luxury homes. After ‘the order of the day’, when British Raj came to an end, the white man lost their shikar, fashionable teas, polo and horse riding. After enjoying from diamonds to grain, poor whites migrated back to England. Living lavish lives of sahibs, they naturally looked back in anger at what they had lost. This time they struggled to make their identity in their own homeland. British Raj gave birth to another community called Anglo Indians, people who were racially mixed and people of British descent who chose to stay in India. Ruskin Bond’s family was one of them. He was in his teens when his father died serving the Raj as a pilot officer in the Royal Air Force. In the cohesive era of doubts and political unrest, Bond got solace in the lap of nature. When he left for England, he realized that he is rooted in the soil of India. Not only did he reject to settle in England, but also to earn money by writing about India’s poverty and politics.

  • Shashi Deshpande: Women Oriented Writer
    International Journal of Engineering Technology Science and Research IJETSR www.ijetsr.com ISSN 2394 – 3386 Volume 4, Issue 9 September 2017 Shashi Deshpande: Women Oriented Writer Dr. Deepali Sharma Assistant Professor, FET, Agra College, Agra ABSTRACT Women are always highlighted due to her nature. Mostly writer wrote about the weak part of the women. Shashi Deshpande is also one of the writers who wrote for the women. In this paper we explain how deeply Shahi Deshpande wrote about the women in her novels. She explains various types and phases of the women characters. Women are always known for her suffering nature. In India that woman is coming in good category that suffers a lot and complains less. To know the nature of woman is really a very tough job. Shashi Deshpande is indeed the most renowned of the contemporary Indian women novelist. Shashi Deshpande's women characters keeping in mind the various types and phases of the women characters expressed in her six novels and tries to link these novels with the various phases of feminism. Feminism is, indeed, a serious attempt to analyze, comprehend and clarify how and why is feminity or the feminine sensibility is different from masculinity or the masculine experience. Feminism brings into perspective the points of difference that characterize the 'feminine identity' or 'feminine psyche' or `feminity' of woman. It can be studied by taking into account the psychosomatic, social and cultural construction of feminity masculinity. The male writers have mostly seen women as inferior and weak. Gendering and some sort of misogyny are evident in the texts written by men.
