Novels analysed within the text include Kamala Markandaya’s Nectar in a Sieve (2009), Shivram Karanth’s Return to Earth (2002) and Na D’Souza’s Dweepa (2013). The book proposes that we should think of ecofeminism as ecohumanism instead, seeing human beings and nature as a part of a complex web. In examining a selection of novels, the author argues that Indian texts conceptualise the ecological crisis more as a human problem than as a gender problem.

This book moves beyond a simple application of the concepts of ecofeminism, instead explaining the uniqueness of Indian novels as narratives of ecofeminism and how they can contribute to the development of the theory of ecofeminism.
