Ecofeminism is an established feature of Indian literary thought, rooted in the Indian ethos. Women have been close associates of the natural scene, working in benevolent harmony with Nature. Mostly, the untrained and raw energy of women stakeholders has drawn sustenance from Mother Nature, though with the passage of time women contributed as physicists, environmentalists, and writers to an organized and empirical study of Nature.
The book is a part of a UGC-sponsored Major Research Project (MRP) with emphasis on the restorative role of Nature in Indian women writing in English. It tries to explore new pathways for ecofeminist ideas and practices with a focus on both theoretical and practical issues. It aims to trace the trajectory of ecological concerns in India through the study of novels of all major Indian women writers from the 1950s to the contemporary times, providing a picture of Indian Ecofeminism in all of its dimensions, perspectives, and diversity. Besides application of existing ecofeminist concepts to Indian novels, it fairly adds fresh dimensions to Ecofeminist theory by offering new approaches to nature-women intricacies in literature with Indian context.
