Resonance Of Environmental Laws And Policies In Indra Sinha’s Animal’s People

Abstract

Bhopal gas tragedy was a remarkable event in the history of India which challenged the life of innocent people due to the man-made disaster in India. Various policies and law reform measures were enacted as a response to the Bhopal gas tragedy and its impacts. The tragedy created numerous interactions and representations both nationally and internationally. It was discussed and covered by journalists, documentaries, films and narratives. Indra Sinha’s Animal’s People is one such adaptations that captures the plight of the affected people and how they are victimised again due to the issues in lack of proper environmental laws and enforcement of the already existing ones. The article analyses how Indra Sinha’s Animal People reflects the need for well-defined  environmental laws and policies  to avoid the victimisation of innocent people.
