Moving beyond traditional social feminism, this branch of theory examines how gendered identities are weaponized within political and environmental frameworks. Emerging from the 1970s American feminist movement, eco-feminism addresses the intersectionality of sexism, speciesism, and environmental decay. This article analyzes Arundhati Roy\u2019s second novel, The Ministry of Utmost Happiness, through this lens. It explores how Roy depicts the erasure of biodiversity and the displacement of marginalized bodies as symptoms of a singular, oppressive modernization. By investigating the symbiosis between the \u201cshattered\u201d characters and the \u201cwounded\u201d landscape, the study highlights Roy\u2019s call for a restorative relationship with the earth to redefine social hierarchies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Eco-feminism, Arundhati Roy, Environmental Justice, Intersectionality, Displacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-1-color has-text-color\"><strong>Page No: 241-244<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-ast-global-color-6-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/bijmrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/241-244.pdf\">download journal<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Dr. Dolan Ghosh DOI Link: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.70798\/Bijmrd\/03080033 Abstract: Eco-feminism posits that the subjugation of women and the exploitation of the natural world are twin results of patriarchal dominance.
