Abstract

Nature plays a major role in the globe both to the human beings as well to the non-human beings. It provides energy and medicine to human as well to the animals. Most of the Indian Families/ people rely on wood to meet their first energy needs, for an instance:
We are depending on natural medicines. In the name of Technological Development, we are destroying Mother Nature by chopping down our green lands (forests), overfishing our seas etc. Moreover we live in materialistic world, we run like a machine. Similarly human’s health is important for survival. Here human’s health is nothing but wheel. The wheel has 24 spokes which is related to 24 hrs. But we don’t understand the importance of each spokes. In this current scenario human is not willing to live with Nature. They want to be marginalized hence nature also reacts accordingly. This paper shows the human devastation caused by Nature’s wrath. The novel depicts the picture of devastation in nineteenth century colonialism ruined by the ecosystem of the fertile Nation. Indian peasants are compelled by the Britishers to yield opium in their fertile fields. Due to illiteracy and innocent they grew opium plants and it affects the human, nonhuman and also the aquatic beings.
