😁😁Hello readers,
in this blog we will get aware about ecocriticism. Nature is the most important part of the earth and human being also. so as the part of the earth it is duty of human being to tack a care of nature. We should remember that not only human but also creature, insects, forest, trees, and all livelihood are the part of nature and for our own sake human being destroyed these chain of nature.
In this video we got the idea that how human beings destroyed the nature but what is next ? Now a day we all faces so many natural calamities and yes corona virus is one kind of calamity, so refer this time our MK BHAVANAGAR ENGLISH DEPARTMENT had arranged the virtual session of DEVANG NANAVATI.
TOPIC : ECOCRITICAL THINKING:SITANSHU YASHASCHANDRA'S 'TREE ONCE AGAIN'
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF ECOCRITICISM ?
Ecocriticism is the study of literature and the environment from an interdisciplinary point of view, where literature scholars analyze texts that illustrate environmental concerns and examine the various ways literature treats the subject of nature.
Here I am putting one slide which consists poem in both form, in English as well as in Gujarati.
Summary of poem :-
This poem is very significant because Sitanshu Yashaschandra has very charming style of satire and in this poem, poet also use this literary device. Sitanshu sir has great style of satire to describe human sentiments, emotions and after reading of his work we might laugh but this laugh is part of his satire. In this poem we also find black satire.
In this poem poet describe his own thought of one trunk and also said that the dinning table, chairs, writing table, books, all are made with wood of tree and we have not idea how many trunks were used in this process of making furniture. and what we should do with them? we easily changed them and replaces with new one. we can not though the processing of these and for making these all comfort human has cut down so many trees.
Analysis of poem and ecocriticism :-
Now let's discuss the critical analysis of the poem. This whole poem is based on critical point of view. poet describe how human being mercilessly cutting down the trees and it will bring the great chaotic problems in the chain of nature.
Now a day we have faced so many natural crisis like Ozon level, increase of Carbon dioxide, fires in forest and tsunami. All are natural crisis and who is the real cause of behind this ? Answer is human being. we all for our comfort and luxuries brake the rule of nature.
From the time of ancient we used to say that trees are the most important part we all chanting and pray them but now we turns forest into desert for making building, furniture, pages and lots of things and it will create a great chaos on nature
This image shows how we spread pollution
Not only the vehicles but also green house for farming and industrial pollution are cause of these and special cutting down of trees.
We have so many examples in the past that how people came on to save the trees and environment. so let's look that movements
CHIPAKO MOVEMENT :-
The Chipko movement was a non-violent agitation in 1973 that was aimed at protection and conservation of trees, but, perhaps, it is best remembered for the collective mobilisation of women for the cause of preserving forests, which also brought about a change in attitude regarding their own status in society.
tThis was the strongest form of resistance against rampant cutting of trees, where people asserted their rights over nature, vowing to protect it. The movement turned 45 years old today.
Chipko type movement dates to 1730 AD when in Khejarli village of Rajasthan, 363 people of the Bishnoi tribe sacrificed their lives to save khejri trees. Woman named Amrita Devi led the movement in the 18th century and laid down her life along with a group of villagers while protecting trees from being felled on the orders of the King of Jodhpur. After this incident, the king, in a royal decree, banned cutting of trees in all Bishnoi villages.
MUMBAI'S SAVE AAREY FOREST MOVEMENT :-
Huge Victory for 'Save Aarey' Movement as Metro Car Shed to be Shifted to Kanjurmarg in Mumbai. Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray announced shifting of the metro car shed leaving Aarey forest with 800 acres of land. ... The CM also added that Rs 100 crore has been spent on the metro car shed building work at Aarey.
Both the movement describe how people came on the front for save the trees.
NOW LET'S LOOK THE GTREAT FOREST FIRE OF 2020 IN AUSTRALIA
The 2019–20 Australian bushfire season, colloquially known as the Black Summer, was a period of unusually intense bushfires in many parts of Australia.
In June 2019, the Queensland Fire and Emergency Service acting director warned of the potential for an early start to the bushfire season which normally starts in August. The warning was based on the Northern Australia bushfire seasonal outlook noting exceptional dry conditions and a lack of soil moisture, combined with early fires in central Queensland. Throughout the summer, hundreds of fires burnt, mainly in the southeast of the country. The major fires peaked during December–January.
Now I would like to represent some literary works whose description of nature is really remarkable :-
1. AKUPAR
AKUPAR is one of the remarkable novel by Dhruv Bhatta. it describe the beauty if GIR forest and in this novel.
Above is concern with ecocritical studies
Conclusion :-
To summing up we can say that now a day we all get aware about nature. It is duty of human being to look after the nature and do not destroy it. it is time of waking up and thinking about "PRAKRUTI". Now we have to under stand that "vishal jag vistare nathi ek j manvi, pashu chhe, pankhi chhe"- Umashankar Joshis's poem very artistically describe that this earth is not only belonging to human beings besides them so many livelihood stay here. it is time to be Eco -centered people and being friendly🌲🌳🌴🎄 toward nature. we should be look after this matter and be Eco-friendly.
