Abstract
The relationship between human beings and nature is harmoniously age-old and deep rooted. The human beings are all born to Mother Nature but now they themselves become the unforgivable enemy to nature. In present scenario, rapid growth of industry and modern technology not only makes man selfish and opportunistic, but also poisons human heart and soul. Ultimately people cultivate their inner ‘void’ with poisonous thinking. The people, the masked become the object of turbulent threat to nature, the sustainer. The modern lifestyle makes man unconscious and fickle minded to nature. The sense of modernity turns human beings against nature. At present, the human beings are lacking the embrace of nature and facing the ecological crisis in environment. Ecocriticism is an interdisciplinary field of study that focuses how nature is portrayed in literature. It establishes the integral connection of Ecology and Literature. This paper focuses on how as a true naturalist and thinker of nature, Ruskin Bond delineates his ecological concern and consciousness in his short stories.
