The Projection of Ecofeminism in the Selected Works of Mahasweta Devi

At present research on female ecological resistance against institutionalised power systems synthesises ecological female-centric political ideas for restoring a peaceful and sustainable way of life by warning that 'the personal is political'. All current global issues, including poverty, casteism, maldevelopment, militarism, militourism, climate-induced vulnerabilities, ecological refugees as well as the 'Anthropocene' are consequences of four pillars of exploitation of sexism, racism, classism and environmental degradation. This book entitled Projection of Ecofeminism in the Selected Works of Mahasweta Devi brings back ecofeminism, a philosophy of resistance that aims to give voice to underrepresented 'other' human and non-human beings and women. Ecofeminism gives voices against institutionalised oppression and subordination of the capitalist patriarchal world order in the lives of 'other' people. Several problems including the effects of environmental issues, poverty, racism, casteism, gender fascism and environmental exploitation have been very minutely emphasized with references to texts of Mahasweta Devi.
