Representation of Environmental Crime and Struggle for Eco-Justice in Animal’s People by Sinha: An Ecocritical Analysis

Abstract

This research paper aims to describe environmental crime as the most significant apprehension of ecocriticism. The study explores the influences of environmental crime on nature and inhabitants who suffered just because of the scientific experiments done by outsiders. The research also brings into focus the continuous so struggle of indigenous people for eco-justice against this eco crime, which is analyzed through an eco-critical lens. Laura Westra introduced the term ‘Green Politics’ to illustrate how developing countries are ecologically imperialized by developed countries. Indra Sinha, in his novel Animal’s People, represents the unwanted changes in society that make people hollow and helpless. The study focuses on the ecological violence in India by outsiders and the endless efforts of Indian people to question environmental justice. The research is a contribution to the field of Ecocriticism which points out environmental degradation and its impacts on the lives of human beings resulting from Industrialization.
