The novel "The Hungry Tide" by Amitav Ghosh, which is set in the atmospheric Sundarbans, depicts a wide range of relationships between people and nature while also highlighting pervasive ecological concerns. This essay examines the novel from an eco-critical perspective, highlighting the complex connections between people, animals, and the environment. An argument on ecological balance, cultural survival, and environmental ethics is presented against the powerful backdrop of Ghosh's depiction of the Sundarbans, a region where the tides control life. The story explores the interconnections of history, ecology, and human decisions through characters like Piya and Kanai, implying a deep connection between nature and civilization. Furthermore, Ghosh's portrayal of the deadly yet breathtaking beauty of the mangroves and the man-eating tigers forces readers to acknowledge the serious effects of ecological imbalances. His complex web of tales highlights the necessity of observing ecological boundaries and promotes an ethos of coexistence rather than dominance. This essay examines Ghosh's prophetic warning about environmental destruction while promoting a comprehensive knowledge of the complex relationship between people and their environment. In essence, "The Hungry Tide" emerges as both a sophisticated ecological treatise and a narrative.
