Recognition, to this day, is famously a passage from ignorance to knowledge. It meets the eye for exchange of words to hark back to something prior and highlight the existing awareness . A moment of recognition occurs when a prior awareness flashes before us. An instant change in our understanding is our knowledge that results from recognition. It arises from a renewed reckoning with a potentiality that lies within oneself. The movement of climate change becomes the outcome of catastrophic convergence. Such change is a recognition of our comprehension which results from the ignorance of human society. In his book The Great Derangement, Amitav Ghosh portrays climate change and the unthinkable. This brilliant production observes and portrays the limits of human consideration when the environmental disaster is apprehended and thought globally. He says that the current ecological crises requires us to recognize the changes the Earth is facing in view of collision of political, economic and environmental disasters. It reflects our deranged attitudes for the environment. Between ignorance and knowledge, recognition moves us to rethink and evaluate the earthly conditions for finding the truth. The objective of the present study is set to make a detailed study from an eco-critical perspective of responding to the matter of environmental crisis as a serious threat for the global society.
