This paper analyses the incorporation of political ecology in Indian Anthropocene fiction by linking the nation with its history, culture, political economy, and environment. The current geological epoch, the Holocene, became an epoch of the Anthropocene, characterised by a substantial increase in human activities. Humans have become an influencing ‘geological agent’, changing the earth's physical conditions. Amitav Ghosh in his The Great Derangement argues that climate change casts only a smaller shadow in Fiction but after the global pandemic there was a paradigm shift, climate fiction emerged as the dominant literary genre of the 21st century due to the rapid increase in the magnitude of climate change. Many contemporary writers concentrate on climate fiction, one among them being the famous Amitav Ghosh. This paper focuses on the works of Amitav Ghosh, particularly Gun Island. Amitav Ghosh is the most influential global thinker in the environment. He uses historical fiction as a device to record the reasons behind climate change, environmental degradation, and climate refugeeism. This paper postulates the importance of cli-fi as a serious genre that helps the younger generations reconnect with their environment by depicting political and ecological relations.
