Abstract

This paper presents the study of globalization, multiculturalism, ecological and environmental perspectives in Amitav Ghosh’s The Glass Palace (2000). The novel represents globalization, multiculturalism and eco-perspectives in inter-connected ways. This paper strives to find out these inter-connected aspects of globalization, multiculturalism, ecological and environmental concerns in the novel. Globalization and multiculturalism have central place while eco-concerns and environmental aspects are peripheral, in the novel. Therefore the objective of the paper is also an appeal to provide the centre-role for ecological and environmental concerns in the texts; along with economic development, countries must give importance to ecological and environmental aspects to save the human race and multi-cultural societies.
