A Study Of Displacement And Injustice In Norbert D’Souza’s Dweepa

Abstract

Displacement is traumatic as it forces the movement of individuals from their babitual residence. People are displaced mostly due to political reasons, internal violence, natural disaster and above all environmental degradation caused by government sponsored development projects for modernisation and urbanisation purpose. The irony behind dam construction is displacement of the native for whom the dam was originally meant to be. Internal displacement poses a great danger and uncertainty among the native people. Within this purview, this paper aims at analysing the theme of displacement and injustice caused to the native people as represented in Norbert D’Souza’s Dweepa.
