The Hungry Tide Novel Analysis

Introduction

The island of the name of Sunderbans, right between Bangladesh and India, stretches in the rush of woods and the jungle of Bengal that deliver the best source for those people near lives according to the novel of Amitav Ghosh, with the title “The Hungry Tide.” In this, Ghosh recommends that the main central graphic and its practices subsidize very little knowledge regarding Sunderbans and his actual positions in this novel, as well as the practices they did and got good responses for.

Discussion

In a forest, there was Banbibi, who is known as the jungle lady, and Byaghradevi and Bandura and Bandevi; they all were looked after with a spirit that they have to save the forest, a village known by the name of Bandura situated on the border of India and Bangladesh by Hindus and Muslims community who lived in such village. The village is famous due to honey bees, and most people focus on the honey collection they mostly go to for honey and face the different attacks of tigers and lions too, so the people believe that they have to perform some religious practices before entering the forest and could get divine protection by forest animals.

According to Amitav Ghosh, different sites and Morichjhapi Massacre are known as blood and brain in novels; one and only “Hungry Tide would be considered as a political power in this novel and economic deficiency had been considered by the politics treated very badly. The Ghosh took the oath by himself, saying that he had to change the actual living standards of his Hindu brother and had made a real change in their lifestyle as they were known as refugees before it. Especially at the time of the Bangladeshi people’s independence when they were compelled to leave their homes and were forced to do so. After that, they were killed by the same politician who assured them they would provide them with safe shelter and security in their regime with the help and law of Sundarbans and Morichjhapi authority (Krishnendu 12).

In the novel The Hungry Tide, Amitav Ghosh explains the real effects suffered by the governmental-friendly projects started for the sake of the people and the betterment of their economic condition. There was one Ghosh known in history who claimed their social right and equal justice in society. The novel is the only evidence that proves the cruelty and injustice faced by the people who were the residents of the villages. Sundarbans claimed that there were a lot of issues existed, such as environmental, social, and political problems, that were only tackled with reference based on kindness. The life and the rights of justice of the poor were too much for Sunderbans in history, as he accepted them.

The international media also gave much more attention and pride to the sensation of Sundarbans. It was reported by the London Independent on April 24, 2006, that the occupied person had left his island just because of the climate change, and more than 10000 inhabitants moved from their actual place to the coastal side due to the climate change explored by the Indian Sundarbans, and it was happened due to raised sea level that fully off the map. A total of 6212 kilometers were emptied due to leaving and moving people in the same tenure. Another island was emptied and left that was famous due to the mela/fair was held, and it was famous due to pilgrimage too but was totally emptied due to moved huge people said that around 1200 families or about 10000 inhabitants moved from Sundarbans India and from the last forty years who almost were a refugee and they all moved to where not known and It is claimed almost more than 7000 refugees who were affected by the environmental factor of Lohachara Island lived alone in Sagar Island and faced a lot of problems, and they unhappily moved from there (Ghosh 36).

A lot of research has been conducted regarding climate change and its environmental effects that are justifying and adopted, but there are rare requirements specified in the library. Although an international organization is known (IPCC), its fourth report assessed and acknowledged that concluded. The international media have claimed and suggested that they should save the planet, and a globally popular change was raised in that discussion that discussed the Bali climate, where almost 10000 people suffered just because of climate change. There is a campaign run by a large organization that took the initiative to overcome the actual effects that are a major cause for everyone (Weik 2006). A large number of people have been affected, and it may not be so dangerous, but its future and for the new generation could be harmful and dangerous, so different organizations globally are busy overcoming this serious environmental issue that is majorly faced by India. It is a virtue and verse in the Islamic quotation that “cleanliness is half faith,” so for every perspective and long life, being beneficial is more important, so keep the environment of the seashore and its surroundings, too.

Conclusion

It’s considered the very least developed and under observation areas, which face the scarcity of basic facilities and the lack of an infrastructural road map due to being situated in the west of the country. Almost 89% of the population of this site focuses on agricultural activities, and more than 50% of people are laborers and use the same old, poor, and typical methods of farming and agricultural activities. With all that, almost 42 percent of people are associated with the fish industry, and it is considered the best and highest-earning profession among those people. More employment is available in fisheries. But in the last 40 years people are facing a recession in this field and there are a lot of problems occurred, A small group of people is associated with the profession of cutting wood and honey and they collect honey and after sell it to the big processing.
