Sacred Waters and Silenced Voices: Ecofeminist Resistance in Na D’Souza’s Dweepa and Sarah Joseph’s Budhini

Author(s)	Mr. Shivam Shukla
Country	India
Abstract	This research paper examines Na D’Souza’s Dweepa and Sarah Joseph’s Budhini through the critical lens of ecofeminism, exploring the intertwined oppression of women and nature in contexts of ecological degradation, displacement, and socio-political marginalization. Both narratives are anchored in landscapes threatened by development projects—Dweepa set against the submerging island in the Sharavathi River due to dam construction, and Budhini foregrounding the dispossession of tribal lands in Jharkhand under the Damodar Valley Project.
