Title

THE NEED AND APPROACH OF BIOCENTRISM IN AMITAV GHOSH THE HUNGRY TIDE

Abstract

Literature is a strong platform for connecting people to problems affecting people's way of life in order to improve their lives. The purpose of this research is to anticipate the environmental issues in literature. Ecocriticism is an interdisciplinary field that studies literature as well as the environment. The literary scholar examines the book not only for environmental concerns, but also for the presentation of ecology as a literary theme. The term Ecocriticism may have first appeared in William Rueckart's essay "Literature and Ecology: An Experiment in Ecocriticism." In his book The Hungry Tide, Amitav Ghosh, an ace story teller, covers on a large poster the concerns of environmental difficulties concerning the Sundarbans, drawing on various sources of facts. He combines the skill of nature writing with fiction, exposing the conflict between human and animal, both of which are an intrinsic part of Nature. Ghosh participates in the rhetoric of narrative, mixing fiction and reality, and using Nature and its environment as a pretext to investigate the politics of human life. The researcher explores the novel through the lens of biocentrism and how the human and non-human world, in order to survive, should live with harmony and interdependency. Biocentrism is a balance between Anthropocentrism and ecocentrism. Literature is a medium and a course for displaying human nature and current societal challenges. Ecological issues are also a part of social issues because man is never separate from society, and so concerns caused by human actions are never separate from society. Literature contributes to the embodiment of the difference between the human and nonhuman worlds. The purpose of this study is to highlight the key environmental challenges of the Sundarbans, its peoples, ecosystems, tigers, and dolphins, natural and manmade disasters that reflect the overall ecological systems of the archipelago rich in biodiversity and living forms unique in the world. Ghosh has seamlessly reintegrated the interaction between many disciplines such as Literature and Environmental Studies in order to examine the possibilities of ethical evaluation of our duty towards our environment, of which we are also an intrinsic part. In the process, the author has made substantial efforts to attract attention to the importance of understanding and conserving life on the island with the biocentric approach.
