Narratives of Displacement and Environmental Consciousness in the Works of Amitav Ghosh

Abstract
Amitav Ghosh's literary corpus demonstrates a profound engagement with the themes of displacement and environmental consciousness. Through a diverse range of narratives, Ghosh explores the historical and contemporary forces that shape human migrations and ecological crises. His novels such as The Hungry Tide, Gun Island, and The Nutmeg’s Curse delve into the intersections between colonial histories, climate change, and human vulnerability. This paper examines how Ghosh’s storytelling challenges dominant discourses, offering alternative epistemologies rooted in indigenous knowledge and ecological awareness. The analysis foregrounds
his narrative techniques, thematic preoccupations, and the broader implications of his ecological vision.
