A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF AMITAV GHOSH’S LITERARY APPROACH: THEMES, NARRATIVE TECHNIQUES, AND HISTORICAL CONSCIOUSNESS

Abstract

Abstract: With an emphasis on Amitav Ghosh's narrative techniques, thematic concerns, and engagement with history, climate change, and postcolonial identities, this paper critically analyzes his literary works. A distinct place in modern literature is created by Ghosh's works, which combine historical realism and fiction in The Ibis Trilogy, The Shadow Lines, and The Great Derangement. The essay looks at how his writing questions traditional historiography, investigates intercultural interactions and tackles urgent global concerns like environmental crises. This paper is an honest attempt to draw readers' attention to the role of music in the fiction of Amit Chaudhuri, a great novelist and one of the leading voices in contemporary Indian literature.   The research scholar goes on to say that music, especially Indian classical music, is a powerful narrative tool that intertwines the themes of identity, memory, and cultural change in his novels rather than merely serving as a background element.
