Abstract: In the realm of Indian English literature, an emerging and compelling discourse has taken root, weaving its narrative threads seamlessly into the fabric of literary exploration-Ecocriticism. This intellectual pursuit delves into the intricate relationship between literature and the environment, offering a lens through which one can scrutinize the ecological dimensions embedded in literary works. This exploration transcends mere analysis; it aspires to unravel the profound interconnectedness between humans and nature, and how this dynamic finds expression within the literary landscapes of Indian English literature. It signifies an intentional journey into the realms of literature where the natural world converges with human narratives, creating a harmonious discourse that reflects both the beauty and challenges of our symbiotic existence. This investigation is not merely an academic exercise; it is a conscientious attempt to foster a deeper understanding of ecological concerns and the human impact on the environment through the prism of literature. Through a harmonious discourse with nature, the readers seek to decipher the ecological messages embedded in the prose and poetry of Indian English literature. This article embarks on a journey into the realm of ecocriticism within Indian English literature, aiming to unravel the ways in which writers engage with environmental concerns, sustainable living, and the evolving dynamics between humanity and the natural world. This paper will explore how the historical tapestry unfolds in the works of contemporary authors, shaping narratives that echo the complexities of the environment and humanity's place within it. Through a nuanced exploration of key literary works, the paper will navigate the diverse terrain of Indian literature to understand how it contributes to ecological awareness, fostering a deeper connection between readers and the pressing environmental issues of our time.
