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...
