AN ANALYSIS OF ENVIRONMENTAL VALUES IN THE HUNGRY TIDE

The world is undergoing rapid transition due to industrialization, societal issues and political situations which are often negotiating the value of the environment and surroundings. This paper tries to highlight the importance and vitality of the environment through analysing The Hungry Tide by one of the prominent Indian writers Amitav Ghosh who is widely celebrated for his writings which focus on conicts related to nature, politics and contemporary issues. Furthermore, the research paper examines how the environment is portrayed in the novel and how it is connected with people and animals. Then this paper explores how the characters survive in the dense area of Sundarbans and the living conditions of water dwelling creatures. Also, the paper illustrates how the story The Hungry Tide can be critically engaged with environmentalism, eco-consciousness and human resilience, and primarily focuses on the human-nature relationship in the race of unavoidable events. The nal output will show how Ghosh plays a pivotal role in throwing light on environmental abuse and thereby paving the way for creating a sustainable environment.
