This paper explores the dynamic interaction between Eastern and Western cultural values as reflected in the selected novels of Amitav Ghosh. It examines how he reinterprets history, myth, and identity to portray the continuing influence of colonial encounters on the Indian psyche. The study situates Amitav Ghosh within the broader framework of Indian English fiction, where the use of English becomes not merely a linguistic choice but a tool for negotiating cultural hybridity and intellectual discourse. By weaving together elements of history, folklore, and contemporary social realities, Amitav Ghosh creates narratives that question the rigid boundaries separating nations, peoples, and ideologies. His novels such as The Circle of Reason, The Calcutta Chromosome, The Shadow Lines, The Glass Palace, and The Hungry Tide vividly illustrate the tensions and connections between modernity and tradition, reason and faith, and the colonizer and the colonized. Through these novels, Amitav Ghosh exposes how global movements, migration, trade, and empire reshape personal and collective identities. The paper also highlights his nuanced depiction of postcolonial consciousness, where the East and the West are not opposites but interdependent forces shaping human understanding. Ultimately, the study emphasizes Amitav Ghosh’s contribution to redefining Indian writing in English as a space of cultural dialogue and historical reinterpretation.
