This article examines the deep connections between women and nature within these novels, focusing specifically on the characters of Kusum and Deeti, who are deeply oppressed under patriarchy. Their struggles represent not only fictional but also historical events of Indian society, as Ghosh intertwines their oppression with occurrences such as the Morichjhãpi massacre and the Opium Trade. In our analysis, we explore how these characters are abused by the patriarchal structure that rules both their native land and colonial experience.

Nuestro artículo examina la profunda conexión entre las mujeres y la naturaleza en estas novelas, centrándose específicamente en los personajes de Kusum y Deeti, quienes son profundamente oprimidas bajo el patriarcado. Sus luchas representan no solo eventos ficticios, sino también históricos de la sociedad India, ya que Ghosh entrelaza su opresión con sucesos como la masacre de Morichjhãpi y el comercio de Opio. En nuestro análisis, exploramos cómo estos personajes son abusados por la estructura patriarcal que gobierna tanto su tierra natal como su experiencia colonial. Más adelante, buscamos profundizar en cómo intentan encontrar una voz a través de su comprensión de la naturaleza.Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaAsociación Española de Estudios Interdisciplinarios sobre India2025info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttps://doi.org/10.5565/rev/indialogs.311https://hdl.handle.net/10459.1/468724http://hdl.handle.net/10459.1/468724reponame:Recercat.
