Ecofeminist Resistance and Ecological Displacement in Dweepa: A Critical Analysis

Author(s)	Mr. Shivam Shukla
Country	India
Abstract	This paper explores Dweepa, a seminal Kannada novel by Na D’Souza, and its film adaptation by Girish Kasaravalli, through an ecofeminist lens. By examining the ecological, cultural, and gendered dimensions of displacement, the research highlights how the narrative intertwines environmental degradation with the oppression of women. The central character, Nagi, emerges as a symbol of resistance, whose rootedness in land and spirit of resilience offers a powerful commentary on environmental justice. The study situates Dweepa within broader ecofeminist discourse, drawing connections between environmental exploitation and patriarchal control.
