Abstract
This research paper explores the literary work of Kiran Desai, specifically her novel "Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard," through the critical framework of Ecocriticism. The novel presents a rich tapestry of characters and narratives set in the fictional Indian town of Shahkot, offering a unique perspective on the intricate relationship between human beings and the natural world. By employing ecocritical analysis, this study examines how Desai's narrative explores environmental themes, portraying the complex interplay between Nature, culture, and society. The research begins by providing an overview of Ecocriticism as a theoretical framework, highlighting its relevance in understanding literature's engagement with environmental issues.
