Abstract:
Abstract: This seminar paper investigates the dynamic relationship between ecological themes and cultural reflections in the Bodo novel Mwihur. The novel, deeply rooted in the Bodo community's cultural and environmental context, provides a rich narrative for exploring how human society and nature are interrelated. Through a detailed literary analysis, this paper examines how Mwihur integrates ecological motifs to underscore the interconnectedness between nature and cultural life. The study begins by exploring the novel’s portrayal of the Bodo’s traditional ecological knowledge and practices. It highlights how the novel represents the Bodo’s deep connection to their environment, showcasing rituals, customs, and practices that are closely tied to natural cycles and resources. Further, the paper analyses how the novel uses environmental settings as symbolic elements to convey themes of cultural displacement and resilience. The paper also explores character development and narrative structure to illustrate how individual and collective responses to ecological challenges are woven into the cultural fabric of the Bodo society. Through character arcs and plot developments, Mwihur reflects the tension between preserving traditional practices and adapting to new environmental realities. The paper highlights how these narrative elements contribute to a broader discourse on environmental justice and cultural sustainability. By integrating ecological and cultural analysis, this seminar paper demonstrates that Mwihur offers a critical perspective on the intersection of environmental and cultural issues. It argues that the novel’s depiction of ecological themes provides valuable insights into the ways indigenous communities and negotiates their relationship with the natural world.
