Amitav Ghosh employs distinctive narrative strategies to weave a typical Ghoshian world, which even tends to defy established notions of fictionality. It is not only the content of his works which exemplifies his political position, even the narrative techniques employed by him act as subversive devices to articulate his political concerns. He uses atypical settings, engages with marginalized histories, empathises with subaltern people and cultures, puts dense ethnographic details, employs a double-helix pattern of plotting, disregards conventional handling of time and so forth. These narrative techniques, complemented by an awesome intellectually captivating diction, demonstrate his consciously attained political position on contemporary issues of identity, history, ethnicity, migration, power/knowledge relations, subalternity, environmentalism and hybridity.
