Abstract

Environment and society are inter-connected since the beginning of human civilization. The more we take care of our natural surroundings, the better life we can have. From time immemorial poets and writers from India and other countries of the world have glorified natural world as well as human-nature relationship. But modern generation and their developments have probably changed the way, which results in a lot of destruction to our environment. Literary figures like William Wordsworth, John Keats, P B Shelley, Anita Sethi, Nancy Newhall, Henry David Thoreau and many more have described natural world, but in Indian context the place Manoj Das and Ruskin Bond have acquired is beyond all. My present paper aims at highlighting the environmental concern of these two authors with regard to their short stories. Here I have studied Das’s novel Cyclones and Bond’s The Room on the Roof.
