Globalization

In “A House on Fire,” Shrivastava and Kothari, remark “Though ‘sustainable development’ has been the official [government] motto for a number of years, the ecological crisis [in India] has only intensified” (123). Using Indra Sinha’s Animal’s People, discuss the impact of globalization on the environment. Recall that Union Carbide arrives in India to facilitate the “green revolution” but their modernization of Indian agricultural practices is by no means green or natural, a point echoed by environmental activist Vandana Shiva. What methods does Sinha use to depict the environmental impact of the gas leak in Kaufpur? How does Shrivastava and Kothari’s notion of “ecological imperialism” relate to Sinha’s novel?
