Abstract: It is clearly perceived that the beauty of nature has always been a very alluring and enthralling subject for the writers since ancient times. Many writers try to encourage a deeper appreciation of the natural world, its beauty and purity, its relevance to human needs. There are bulks of writers in the contemporary world who have successfully portrayed the very perception of ecology, wilderness, pastoralism in their writings to bring home the awareness of the fact that nature is boon for mankind. But men fail to introspect over this and often get into conflict, resulting chaos for themselves. Like the other writers of the mainstream India, North East India is no way remaining passive in this regards to exploring the relationship between man and nature. Among so many other writers, one of the most vocal from Assam is Arupa Patangia Kalita who has a good number of works to her credit. She is one of the leading voices in contemporary Assamese literature who won the Sahitya Academi Award in 2014. The present paper will focus on the collection of short stories reflecting humanitarian outlook and sincerity of the author from an eco critical approach. The stories in the collection vividly demonstrate the ongoing agitations and violence of indigenous people which leave a deep impact on the nature and the environment for polluting and spilling of innocent blood in the peaceful region. The beautiful nature that was so dear and integral part of these indigenous people is no more the same since the agitators have exploited it to turn it into a place of violence and conflict. Arupa Patangia Kalita tries to reverberate the saga of the people of region by presenting a plethora of images of mountains, hills, rivers, myths, traditions and culture of the people of the region.
