Ecocritical Approach to the Postcolonial Anthropogenic novel Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard (1998)
Abstract: Meenakshi Mukherjee in "Twice Born Fiction" (1971) while paying attention to 1930-1964, Indian Writings, in the chapter entitled 'Themes and Techniques of the Indian Novel in English', emphasizes on relationship of man and society that must aim at a definite location in temporal and spatial reality. (Mukherjee, 18) at the same time the Research paper through Kiran Desai's novel Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard, (1998) takes us to the nineties to the displaced, marginalized modern man, their favourite protagonist who "exhibits deep urge to speak out, unfettered by restraints who virtually screams to be heard, asserts Viney Kirpal in her 'Introduction' to "The New Indian Novel in English" (Reimenschneider, Introduction, 29). The Anthropocene is one of the most influential concepts introduced by the Environmental Sciences and Humanities in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Forster suggests, (Introduction, 18) Anthropocene Epoch can be seen having its origins in the post second world war era', what environmental historians have referred to as the Great Acceleration of economic impacts on the earth, hence he argues (Introduction, 18) it established monopoly capitalism at a high level of globalization as its principal driver.' By employing ecocritical analysis, this study examines not only the environmental themes, which tend to portray the complex interplay between Nature, culture, and society, but also allied ecological themes such as the contrast between urban and rural spaces, the symbolism of the Guava Orchard and interaction of Human and Nature.
