Author : Ankita Singh and Dr. Suresh Singh

Abstract

As an esteemed novelist and social activist, Mahasweta Devi is deeply concerned about the state of the environment and how it affects the survival of the human race. As a result, her writings provide enough material for eco-critical analysis. Here we take a look at the book The Book of the Hunter and how it includes key elements of Deep Ecology. As a result, this research analyses the book via an ecological lens, focusing on the author's attempts to make readers more environmentally aware.
