Deep Ecology, Ibis trilogy, Maddaddam trilogy, Environmental ethics, Ecological concerns

We are all breathing in a technocrat era of climate change. In this contemporary world, the biocentric ambiance is vanishing and the anthropocentric environment is evolving. One of the most pressing concerns today is undeniably the deterioration of planet Earth. The uninhibited exploitation of nature and its aftermaths of pollution, devastation, and wildlife extinction are the harsh realities of our times. Due to unnecessary needs and irrelevant demands of humans, nature is declining and decaying day by day. To ameliorate this disparity between humans and nature, a recent branch of ecological philosophy called Deep Ecology has evolved which claims that, like humanity, the living environment as a whole has the same right to live and flourish. This philosophy emphasizes the interdependence of humans and non-humans in the ecological sphere and thus advocates a balance between the two. Literature is a reflection of life and it always plays a prominent role in establishing a deep relationship between humans and their surroundings. Deep Ecology is creating a buzz in the literary world nowadays. It offers a philosophical basis for environmental advocacy which may, in turn, guide human activity against self-destruction. In the twentieth century, a new genre of literature reflecting the ecological concerns has come in vogue. For instance, Amitav Ghosh’ Ibis trilogy deals with the continuous exploitation of India’s land for poppy cultivation by the British Imperialists. Margaret Atwood as an environmentalist also talks about the deterioration of ecology and her Maddaddam trilogy studies the impact of scientific advancements such as genetically modified crops and lethal microbes on human existence. This article is a sincere attempt to highlight the ecological concerns and deep ecological perspectives in the Ibis trilogy and the Maddaddam trilogy.
