Biodiversity in Indian Fiction

Abstract

Writers and poets have provided works that reflected the close relationships between
nature and literature. Biodiversity is the genetic variation, ecosystem variation, or species
variation within an area, or plant. Concern for biodiversity is one of the most discussed issues
today. It is the issue of concern of every country to replenish the decreasing factors of ecology
which threatens human beings the most. Literature reflects the concern for biodiversity that have
remained unaffected from this theme. The world of literature packed with works dealing with
beauty and power of nature. Biodiversity has come to mean not only the application of ecology
and ecological principles to the study of literature, but also the theoretical approach to the
interconnected web of natural cultural and supernatural phenomena. In the history of Indian
English literature, there are a few novels, which can be related to the biodiversity. The scope of
biodiversity in fiction is widened because of the inclusion of the different perspective proposed
by the critics around the world.
