Description

The Bengali-Indian postmodernist Amitav Ghosh is well-known for his works published in English. In 2007, the Indian government bestowed the Padmashri award onto him. A wide range of topics, including politics, socialism, art, humanity, and anthropology, are explored throughout Ghosh's works. An accomplished author, he writes in English and is modern Indian. The effects of colonization on formerly colonized peoples are central topics in several of Ghosh's works. The book, The Hungry Tide, touches on environmental concerns and the bond between people and other creatures. The Sundarbans islands are under continual danger from the increasing water level and other natural catastrophes. Countless species in the region are dangerously close to being extinct. On many common environmental challenges, locals and environmentalists have divergent views. Environmental initiatives have an impact on the local population, yet they have little to no input in how these projects are planned or carried out. Skillfully handled are the concerns of the dilemma of human existence in relation to animal rights.
