Dr. Archana Singh

Abstract :

<p>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Man is wildly misusing natural resources, and the exhaustion of these resources is a matter of deep concern. After exuberantly and lavishly misusing the natural resources environmentalists and scientists showed the apprehension about the exhaustion of fresh air and water in the entire globe. It is the time to understand and realize that all beings are crucial to retain the beauty and health of the earth. Man being considerd the most powerful social animal, must not turn into terrorist to usurp the territory of other beings to fulfil his greed. Ruskin Bond&amp;rsquo;s stories echoes his concern towards the devastating evnvironment which is the result of the ignorance of man, and his approach to lead a luxurious life. Bond&amp;rsquo;s stories are an imaginative and honest revealations of his sensitivity towards nature. In the name of development man plays a mean and wicked game with the creatures and has started invading their homes by cutting mountains and roads. Bond reiterates in almost every story of him about the moral duty of man towards nature and above all his stories inculcate a sense of duty and responsibility towards the nature.&lt;/p&gt;</p>
