An Outlook of Ecoregionalism in Amitav Ghosh's The Hungry Tide

The purview of this article is to promote the voices of Amitav Ghosh regarding
the environmental issues. In The Hungry Tide, Ghosh examines the landscape, the
 ora, the fauna and the tide people who settled in the Sunderbans, a reserved forest
area. Expect Lucibari and Garjontola, the other places such as Canning, Gosaba,
Satjelia, Morichijihapi, Emilybari… etc are real one where a wide variety of rare
species from the microscopic  sh to the endangered man eating tiger live. The
biotic life of the Sunderban is shaken by the invaded human beings. That leads to
reduce the growth of the species. This height of ecological insanity creates a con ict
between men and animals. Fear conquers the mind of the sunderbans. To survive
in their allotted place, the animals struggle from the inhabitants. Tiger encounters,
crocodile attacks, natural disasters… etc become common in that place. Nature as
well as man function both as a preserver and destroyer. Ghosh creates an awareness
among the readers about the ecology through Piyali Roy, the cetologist, who studies
the dwindling breed of Irrawadoly dolphin. Unlike other naturalist, Ghosh shapes
the ecoregion in new dimensions. He views the Sunderban region as a domain of
consciousness. Thus, The Hungry Tide becomes a milestone of Ghosh to establish a
new ecological ethics and environmental justice.
