Ecocriticism has evolved as a global literary theory during the last three decades. The whole world is currently facing an environmental disaster bred by anthropocentrism—a worldview which accrues central place to humans, their rationality, and desires and which has made for not just exemplary scientific-technological advancement but got deeply embedded in the discursive spaces. Nature has been terribly objectified and eventually mutilated. ‘What kind of role literature can play in subverting on one side the anthropocentric worldview and on other making people realise the environmental disasters?’ is the central question of this theory. Ecologically oriented literature asks for a better understanding of both outside and human natures. This article illustrates the differences between naturalism, landscaping, and ecocriticism along with reassessing the corpus of Urdu writings about this school of criticism.
