Abstract	The development of Bangladeshi English literature is deeply rooted in the colonial history of Bengal and has evolved significantly in the post-independence era to reflect the socio-political transformations of Bangladesh. This study examines the works of prominent Bangladeshi English writers such as Kaiser Haq, Tahmima Anam, and Neamat Imam, analyzing how their narratives capture the nation's changing social milieu. Employing post-colonial theory, ecocriticism, and concepts of hybridity and nationalism, the research delves into the thematic preoccupations of these authors, such as identity, political power, and cultural transformation. Through close readings, historical contextualization, and discourse analysis, key findings reveal that these writers critique the lingering effects of colonialism, explore the complexities of post-independence nationalism, and address environmental concerns. Their works contribute to global literary discourses by offering nuanced perspectives on the socio-political and ecological challenges faced by a newborn nation.
