Abstract	A medium that depicts life in all its facets is literature. Ecofeminism is a movement that compares the exploitation and devastation of the natural environment with the oppression and enslavement of women. One of India’s best-known English-language writers, Amitav Ghosh blends history, experience, and environment. Opium warfare represents a grave event in India’s colonial past. The losses of India’s natural environment and the miseries of its women during the colonial era due to opium plantations have been accurately shown by Ghosh. This paper examines Amitav Ghosh’s well-known novel Sea of Poppies within the framework of ecofeminism and from the perspective of ecocriticism.
