Title of the paper : Exposition of Global Confronts in Amitav Ghoshs The River of Smoke

Abstract: One of the most well-known contemporary Indian writers of English is Amitav Ghosh. The epic themes of travel, diaspora, memory, history, communal violence, love, and loss are all explored in Ghoshs literature. The Ibis trilogy, The River of Smoke 2011 is about the three central characters in canton. In September 1838, three ships are caught in an uncontrolled storm of the Andaman Sea. How did the characters, fortunes of those overseas. The Anahita, an opium carrier leading towards canton. A criminal from canton named AhFatt and the Redruth, an expedition to collect rare plants from the Ibis and China, escape from the ship with some lascars. Amitav Ghosh has been the most success in evocatively capturing the lives of those who have been influenced by globalization without using the phrase literally. Ghosh has written ambitious novels that give meaning to our globalised world without setting out to do just that. In this fiction Ghosh honored the individuals- survival instinct, cheering their ability to adapt and change in oneself.
