Abstract
Humans and other forms of life have had a close interaction since prehistoric times. Without the environment, life on Earth would be impossible. Mankind has evolved to the point that he now uses nature for his own benefit. As a result, not only is the environment being abused, but so too is the very existence of humans. According to Rachel Carson's theories in Silent Spring, the evolution of life on Earth is best understood as a series of encounters between organisms and their physical environment. The environment has had a significant impact on the appearance and behaviour of plant and animal life on Earth. The countervailing impact, in which life actively alters its environment, has been little as compared to the age of the Earth. It is only in the current century that one species, man, has gained the ability to significantly modify the character of his surroundings. There is an urgent need for a healthy, well-balanced atmosphere. It's essentially the universe's blood. The flash flood that struck Uttrakhand in June 2013 caused tremendous suffering for Indians and has been variously characterised as either a man-made tragedy or an unanticipated development on the part of humans. This is now widely regarded as a prime illustration of the "tit for tat assassination" that Ecocritics say is the inevitable consequence of Nature's curse on humanity. Using examples from Indian fiction written in English, this article will offer an eco-critical analysis of the non-human's significance and existence in the human world. They have realised the need of preserving ecological harmony. They stress the importance of harmony between people and the natural world.
