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
