Abstract

This paper explores the intersection of gender, environment, and colonial power in tribal narratives of Indian English literature. By analyzing key literary texts, the study examines how these narratives portray the lived experiences of marginalized communities, focusing on themes of ecological degradation, patriarchal oppression, and colonial exploitation. Using an interdisciplinary framework, the paper highlights the cultural resistance embedded in tribal storytelling, emphasizing its significance in redefining historical memory and socio-political identity. The analysis reveals how indigenous voices articulate environmental justice and gender equality while resisting colonial narratives. This study underscores the transformative power of literature in shaping socio-environmental consciousness.
