A tinier fragment...

Ecocritical responses to literature #1 

Reproducing here a line from Pablo Mukherjee's momentous work, "Postcolonial Environments":

Quote

Arundhati Roy's literary style, form and subject are deeply considered artistic responses to the historically specific condition of uneven development in India...so Roy's novel ..... demands the application of an eco-materialist perspective which sees ENVIRONMENT, HISTORY and CULTURE in their real, mutually interpenetrated condition.

Unquote

Tells a lot about the way in which the environment is interpreted in Indo-anglian literature. To me, not only does our environment lie in fragments, so does our history and culture. Will share more...

 

Starting fragment

Welcome to my blog!!!

Jumped into this today. Strange isn't it, that I should find it hard to put down my thoughts. Vaguely then, this is going to be fragmented pieces on why and how the natural world in India is breaking down. The "fragments" that I will write about are on ecology, economics and oh well - an authors empathy with how the world around him is changing...

Much of this will be rambling, and imperfect rambling at that.

Some of it will be news posts, the rest of it will be reflective pieces, while a little might even be on events that I cover or my current work with the forests of Tamil Nadu state.

Together they will tell the fragmented story, the how and why if you will, of the breaking forest and natural vegetation cover in the world.

So there! I told it!!

Stay around and let me know how YOU feel about what I feel

Would love to hear from you

Cheers!!
