Environmental Ethics in The Anthropocene Vis-A -Vis Swarga- A Posthuman Tale

<p><span>This paper revolves around the aerial spraying of endosulfan in the Kasaragod region of the state of Kerala, India vis- a- vis Ambikasutan Mangad’s <em>Swarga- A Posthuman Tale</em>, written initially as <em>Enmakaje</em> in 2009 and translated in English in 2017. The spraying of the pesticide, meant to promote cashew farming, led to heavy contamination of the natural water bodies that impacted both human as well as nonhuman health grievously. This raised crucial questions regarding the centrality and unbridled rights of some humans in the scheme of things as compared to their marginalized human and nonhuman counterparts.</span></p>
