Abstract
Addressing the climate phenomena is a way to ensure justice for humanity. Contaminated air quality, erratic weather condition, climate change, loss of species, habitat loss, desertification & deforestation, loss of natural resources such as wetlands, ozone depletion, uncontrolled urbanisation and industrialisation coupled with emissions from vehicles, air-conditioners, etc. on the one hand and brutal exploitation of natural resources on the other hand have played havoc with the ecology. Agriculture has become a gamble and life on this planet has become precarious. Masanobu Fukuoka, a Japanese farmer and philosopher in his famous book The Dragonfly Will Be the Messiah makes this prognosis: “No God or Buddha will rescue the human race” and “The destruction of nature will lead to the destruction of human race.” (2021; 14). Environmental crisis is a matter of serious concern in present time and needs to tackled with urgency. The intersection between environment and culture is undeniable, both influence and impact each other. The present paper attempts to discuss relation between cultural ethics and environment in Arundhati Roy’s The Ministry of Utmost Happiness.
